Calino.....interesting. I don't know that tune. I would love to have the music. I belive that the oldest known pipe setting is "Tyree Bridal Song." But I can not provide the evidence of that, I was told that by the pipe sargeant of an Irish pipe band that I was in; he claimed to have documentation. Are you familiar with it Bruce? Dan

Still trying to figure out the instructions for CUTEFTP. I found my site it there, but there's nothing in it yet. With great good luck I'll get something in it there tomorrow, but my workday at the computer is just about done. I've got some old songs, but lost all the superscripts when I converted from Wordperfect to ASCII, so then it took late into last night and all day today to add in the HTHL tags to make them superscripts again. Boy, am I tired of that. That file of songs is geting close to a megabyte, and it takes a long time to scroll through to find anything (and correct it).

It will also be on my website when I figure out how to load my stuff onto it. I'll also have alphabetical and theme code indices of about 3500 Irish tunes, and some very rare old Irish songs (mostly in English, except for Kitty Clive's Gaelic version of Aileen Aroon, 1742). I'll have Captain Magan, Larry Grogan, Black Joke and imitations, Druimion Dub Delis, Pretty Peggy of Derby, O, and many others. [Not to mentions Scots and English songs going back to Henry VIII's time.]

I lost the thread in which Bruce O. gave us the oldest known Irish tune. Can you help me?
