I heard a recording, don’t know who or the title. Been running thru my head, this is it to the best of my memory…

g3 ged | cAB c2d | e2a agf | ed^c def|
gba gfe | cAB cdg | fed cAF | EAG A3:|]

I love this, it is played a bit slower than normal with a fiddle and using the regs.

Thanks

The second part sounds like Brian O Lynn…

Wow! I’ve never seen notation like that.. :boggle:

One question..

What does “T:Gan Ainm” mean?

4

…

“T” stands for “Title” (in ABC format)

Gan Ainm, literally translated means, “Without A Name”; hence, the “title” is ‘no title’.

ABC format is great scott. There’s a free compiler you can download. Save all that gobbledegook as a text file, drop it on the compiler and it turns it into a midi file and a post script file. drop the postscript file into a convertor like GhostScript and it will turn it into standard sheetmusic in a .pdf format so you can print it. All without having to mess around with big scanned graphic attachments or who has Finale and who has Cakewalk and who has Melody. You can do a whole book like that in one .pdf file

Alright, c’mere, I heard it again the other day but don’t have any liner notes but I transcribed it closer to the original…
