Abc's to these Tunes

Abc's to these Tunes

The video on youtube of these polka's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWBHe9I-Sec&feature=related

says Padraig O'keefe's and Terry Teahan's I can't seem to locate the abc's to these tunes under those names, are they also under other titles?

Thanks for any assistance!

Re: Abc's to these Tunes

Are you sure they're not slides.
I haven't heard the youtube clip, but the titles suggest slides ...O'keefes Teehan's.
I'm probably talking bolleaux, it's late here.

Re: Abc's to these Tunes

They're definitely polkas. Try the search in the tunes section. Both titles give several hits.

Problem is I looked at all the Polka's with those titles and can't really identify any that resemble what's played in the video's...I must be thick...thanks for the help anyway!

I haven't heard the clip, but my recollection is that Teahan's and O'Keefe's are two of the polkas in Patrick Street's Newmarket Polkas set--you might try looking under that name.

Re: Abc's to these Tunes

The second one I play as "Lucy Farr's Polka" (which is not the same as the two tunes of that title on thesession.org):
