I'm looking for notation for a tune called "Liberty Bodice" heard at a festival session this summer. Does anyone know it please?

Had to look them up- never heard of them before. Pictures here, and a bargain at 30 pounds or so (fleecy lined, yet!): Liberty bodice
Apparently the 'Liberty bodice' has been made by Symington's corsets lo! these many, many years. It seems to have been more up to the neck in the past. Most quaint!

"Liberty Bodice" seems to have been composed by Ed Rennie, using a tune by John Phillips Sousa, but I have no details. Fiddler's Companion, L including Liberty
