Apparently it was included in vol 2 of Matt Seattle's "Great Northern Tune Book" (from the manuscripts of William Vickers) which is out of print and doesn't seem to be held by any library in the country. Any help appreciated |

Here it is - X:1 T:Skipton Lasses M:4/4 L:1/8 K:G d/c/|BGDc Bdgd|BGDB cAA d/c/|BGDc Bdgd|ef/g/ dg BGG: |:e/f/|gdBd gdBG|gd ef/g/ aA Ae/f/|gdBd gdBG|AB/c/ BA BGG: I have checked it out in the Concertina.net convertor and it does work. It should be split common time but I didn't know how to do that. Sounds familiar, I'm sure it must have another name. A good place to ask this sort of question is the Tradtunes list, http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/tradtunes/ Lynn |
