Is anybody familiar with "Fire in the Hearth"?

I have a PDF of it, but I have no idea where I got it from. It is quite a beautiful piece. It says “Source as played by John Skelton on the Woodenflute Obsession CD” (which I don’t own). I don’t know if it’s Irish or Native American, or what–very slow and haunting.

I would post a link, but I don’t have one, just the PDF file. If anybody has a link, could you please post it, because I’d love to share this one. Or tell me how to attach a PDF, and I’ll post it myself!

‘Fire in the Hearth’ was written by a Scottish accordion player, Freeland Barbour. It’s also on John Skelton’s 1993 recording “One at a Time”, PAN Records 146.

I played this air at my father’s memorial service in 1999, on an early-'80s Copeland cocobolo D flute, accompanied by a pipe organ.

There’s a clip of Skelton playing it linked to:

Scroll down to Skelton’s listing and click the MP3 button on the right.

Bump!

Put the file somewhere, and post the URL to it, then people can click on the link to it.

If you haven’t got somewhere to put it, post it to me, and I’ll post the link to it.

Lovely tune, and fairly easy to play.
