The person that transcribed this ABC tune is brilliant. This is the best I have heard. Who is it?

All the best,
Pat Sky

That ABC is identical, jot and tittle, to Henrik Norbeck’s transcription (hn-reel-690), if that’s what you’re asking.

Hey, that is a nice job. Cheers to Henrik or … ?

And thanks for posting it – that tune’s been on my “learn” list for a while.

As for Author, Finbarr Dwyer often gets the credit for it although I have heard McGlinchey mentioned as well.

This is just a slight modification. I changed the turn-arounds into rolls, as my ABC player is quite literal about turn-arounds. This sounds better for me. If you don’t like it please just ignore it.
