This B part is stuck in my head but I can't remember what the A part is. What tune is this? Can someone help? My remaining shreds of sanity hang in the balance.
Sounds like part of a waltz I have heard the fiddling brothers Seamus and Manus McGuire play with (or without) Jackie Daly. Check any of their solo or "Buttons and Bows" recordings.
Yes! ~ also familiar... I'll see if I've the rest in mind or on paper and get back to you, if no one else finds it first. Here's a reworking of your ABCs, for my own sake and others ~
M: 3/4
L: 1/8
R: waltz
K: D Major

This is like 'old times' ~ the first 100 Discussions here at TheSesh were mostly about such things, looking for missing bits, or the notes to a title...
I did a search using the first four and six notes of a tune and did not find anything. I might have heard it in a different key than notated. I thought it a common enough tune to be in the database. It is a reel and it starts:
EBGB AGB2
I am wretched with the ABCs. Do I have that right with the capitals being the lower octave? And that is a G sharp.
I know I got the last bit wrong, but I did search as search for:
EBGB AG
What did I do wrong there?
Oh, duh. I see that you noted it with the caret for the sharp?
That's a tune that I have not heard enough to fully learn. I have about 3/4's of it and heard someone playing it the other night. Heck, I might even add it to my non-existant tune list!
Welcome! ~ if you have any problems with ABCs ask, send an email. If I can't sort it I'll refer you one to someone more in the know than I... Don't give up, it is a good thing to get familiar with...and it will get easier...

How about this tune
I did a search using the first four and six notes of a tune and did not find anything. I might have heard it in a different key than notated. I thought it a common enough tune to be in the database. It is a reel and it starts:
EBGB AGB2

Re: B part seeks A part
Thanks everybody!
That Boys of the Lough album is definitely where I heard it years ago. I guess I'll cancel my reservations at the loony bin...
