Terry Teahan's Barrel Organ Slide

Whistle
1

Anyone have a source for dots for this tune on the recording “Old Time Irish Music in America”?

Staff notation, abc, anything? Couldn’t find a version in any of the usual locations. Maybe under another name?

Thanks and best wishes.

I have a PDF copy of Teahan’s book that was offered for download here a while ago. It could be in there.


Download link was : The Road to Glountane - Terry ‘Cuz’ Teahan

Didn’t check it was still working.

If you mean “The Road to Gloutane”, unfortunately not there—at least under that name.

Thanks.

Best wishes.

Thanks very much.

All I could find were short clips from the various sites selling the CD and didn’t hear enough to make any reasonable attempt at a transcription.

Best wishes.

Thanks, I was always kinda wondering where the ‘Cuz’ part came from. Now I can tell the others at the session tonight as we play a few of his tunes.
