Help correcting my probably many errors?

Help correcting my probably many errors?

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.

Any help with what mistakes I made here?

Re: Help correcting my probably many errors?

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 ~

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

Interesting, and kt seems taken from the same source. I like how they tried to emulate the slides with their ABCs

Thanks a lot for the help. I guess I wasn't too bad. Mostly just on the 6th bar of the B part
