DUNKIRK   DUNKIRK   I think that MMario has this, and sent a midi to John which doesn't seem to have reached the midi pages. See thread Lyr/Chords Add: DUNKIRK, which also contains some fanciful speculation on the meaning of fain', which I am pretty certain is simply a typo for facin'; if I ever find my tape of the song again, I'll know for sure. The writer's name is also mis-spelt there and in the DT file: it is Zeta, not Zetta. I'm not at all sure that she shouldn't be Zeta MacDonald rather than Zeta St. Clair, but I can't swear to it.

DYINPILT   DYING PILOT  The file has a midi link, but the midi (DYINHOBO).MID) doesn't seem to exist. According to Dick, it's the same tune as DYING HOBO where a tune is not given either. According to Snuffy (Tune Add Part II) both these songs use the same tune as A SOLDIER FROM MISSOURI, as does THE LITTLE STREAM OF WHISKEY (THE DYIN' HOBO)

Soldier From Missouri does actually have a tune file. Now, I don't know any of these songs, so I'm just pointing out the convoluted cross-references, and will say nothing at all about Bingen on the Rhine or Kevin Barry or Shall My Soul Pass Through Old Ireland. Over to you!

ERLINTON   ERLINGTON  CHILD 8D; Roud 24. Bronson has no tune for any version of this song, and none are listed in the Roud Index. Unless one turns up when the Carpenter collection is published, that it probably an end of it.

BEAUREY2   A FOX HUNTIN'  This is taken from the Max Hunter Collection, where there is a midi (their copyright, of course): A Fox Huntin'

GLWYCITY   GALWAY CITY  At Mudcat Midis.
