New and Confused

Hi Guys,

I just started taking tin whistle lessons (in NY). My motivation was a beautiful piece I heard once called The Lonesome Boatman, would anyone know where I could get the sheet music.

:confused:

JC’s has it in ABC but I am having trouble with both the main and mirror sites. :frowning:

Here are the links anyway:

Main:
http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/FindTune.html

Mirror:
http://jc.tzo.net:1742/~jc/music/abc/findtune.html

Once you can get the ABC you can convert it to dots here:

There are two versions of it in The Low Whistle Book, neither of which sound like the Finbar Furey version CD I have. Not exactly, anyway. I’m just going to learn by ear from Finbar’s CD.

I’m also still having JC’s ABC troubles.

But I found this - http://tunedb.woodenflute.com/tunedb/tune_details_results.html?tune_id=9440&tune_name=The%20Lonesome%20Boatman

Can that help? Looks like a reel written by Finbar Furey.

It’s not on thesession.org either…

Welcome to the board. :slight_smile: Please post often.

Thanks so much for the help. I’ve saved the info to use when I have a touch more experience. Actually I have a lesson tonight.
