18 Nov 02 - 11:03 AM (#828979) Subject: Looking for fiddle tune'workman'? From: Sorcha OK, my turn to ask for help, please. A friend heard a fiddle tune that had "workman" in the title.......either E minor or E dorian; said it would be nice with Road to Lisdoonvarna and Swallowtail Jig. Seems Aly Bain does one called Shack's Farewell to the Workman's Club but I can't find it anywhere (except on CD's). Does anyone know this tune, and could that be the one I am looking for? If not, does anyone have any other clues as to what I am actually looking for? Thanks! |
