Cherish the Ladies do a great version of Dan Folgelbergs' song "Leader of the Band." They include a tune on the fiddle called "Devaney's Goat," I've searched it out on Midi search engines but to no avail. Anyone out there have the Gif for the music to this or know where a midi is that I can convert to musical notation with my handy dandy Cakewalk Program? Thanks! Nancy at the the base of Mt Shasta

"Devaney's Goat" was composed by the late Tommy Whelan, a flute player from Ballinakill in east Galway. Jack Coen, an east Galway flute player who is still very much alive, says that Whelan named it after a neighbor's animal. There's a very nice version of it on Frankie Gavin's flute album "Up and Away."
