Marc,

http://www.thesession.org/index.php

It might be worth it to ask at that site. They are dedicated to Irish music, and no doubt someone in their membership will have a copy of the book, sheet music or mp3 with the song. I am presently hitting dead-ends everywhere.

Thanks you very much for your efforts Peace, I truly appreciate it. I posted a tune request on the session the same time I started this post, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'll let you know if I find anything, I to am finding the same dead ends.
