Oh well!!! At leasr the notation practice won't hurt me. Thanks Alison. The times I've been in Sydney lately the weather has been great. I gather that like here you've hardly had a winter? Regards, John

I came across the tune 'Castle of Dromore' recently. It was glossed as an Irish lullaby, c. 800CE.

I'm interested to know where this tune is recorded (ie., from which historical source) and if there are lyrics to the tune?

oops! Many thanks for that - I did try a site search first, but it didn't come up with anything. My browser must have crashed during the search...
