Can the catters come up trumps again over this one?

It's an aire that goes before Morrison's jig. I had it in a book somewhere .... then I loaned the book... can't recall who to... usual story.

Any clues? (to the tune that is not who I lent the book to!)

Thanks in advance Sarah

Oh dear ... um I could work it out - you don't happen to have a version with music dots do you???

Don't worry if not I'll print this and give it a go

Thnks Sarah

Sarah, PM me your e mail and I will scan the dots and send them to you. I've already got it "translated".

Never mind--Sarah, the tune is here at JC's. It's a reel, though, not an air. JC doesn't have anything in 3/4 which aires usually are.

Thanks Sorcha

Sorry for not getting back sooner but don't work sundays - altho sometimes it feels like it.

It's a nice tune but not the one I was after, I tried doing a google search and it is listed on someones CD but no music so I'm sure I'm not hallucinating .... there again it is Monday morning!

Anyway thanks for your help
