Before I go off and post this tune, I want to make sure I have it at least pretty close to right, because I think some of it isn't quite. I'm still pretty knew to this whole transcribing thing...
This is supposed to be the Kansas City Hornpipe, as taken from a youtube video of Fred Morrison playing uilleann pipes in the transatlantic sessions.
Just getting ready to head out, thanks for the link and listen Joe, lovely, both the pipes, sweet and having a kick with that tune, and the lovely banjo too, very nice. Here's a quick transcript, mind you, minus all those lovely slurs and rolls given by the piper. While I followed that, I kept being drawn to the simplicity of the banjo. I haven't looked for alternate takes on this from elsewhere, but then I'm off to do some flight hunting today. Here goes, I hope this is a help, both in getting it squared away and in your listening to it ~

Any help with what mistakes I made here?

Hardly, nice transcription work Joe, you obviously have decent ears and a fair understanding...

Re: Help correcting my probably many errors?
Interesting, and kt seems taken from the same source. I like how they tried to emulate the slides with their ABCs

Re: Help correcting my probably many errors?
Thanks a lot for the help. I guess I wasn't too bad. Mostly just on the 6th bar of the B part
