Only 13 more days till St Patrick's Day. I've been looking for a few more tunes to play with friends. I think I've found one they are going to like. It's O'Neill's number 312, The Winsome Widow,
and it's marked 'with spirit,'

It's in the key of G, but when you get to an F, they make it F natural.
heh heh

I've sent it to Joe for posting. If he didn't get shut down by the big storm, it should appear here soon. To make the structure more clear, I have clarinet and accordion playing one section, then on the repeats, harp and guitar take a turn.

Yes, but mine has two staves so the whole gang can play.

No, I didn't get shut down by the Big Storm, although we've had a lot of rain in the Sierra Foothills this week. I got shut down by a Big Project - our choir director needs 45 CDs burned by tomorrow...

Leeneia's MIDI posted. Nice tune.

Thanks, Joe. Would these 45 CD's be related to learning music for Easter?

I'm glad you like the tune.
