Heya,
I started learning a tune, and I tought it was “Bucks of Oranmore” when I heard the first part, but the rest of the tune seems different than my abc version of “Bucks of Oranmore”. Here’s the MP3, please could you tell me the name of that tune, and why the first part is identical to “Bucks” ?
