Wooden flute obsession cd

I just got my copy, oh * my * gawd (hey, I'm a blond, what do you
expect?), what a fabulous set of CDs. They won't be out of
the player for a long time. Now, of course, I will have to
learn to play the flute :-)!

Just so there's no confusion, the last tune on the last track of this recording is "Around the Fairy Fort" and can be found on this site at: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2177.

Johnny Harling's reel

Hi there, on "Wooden flute obsession 1" (http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display.php/278) Deirdre Havlin plays a set called "The Mighty Clansmen" - consisting of "King George IV" and "Johnny Harling's Reel".

The latter sound so lively and very, very cool. I have been trying to find the ABCs for this tune, and although a search on the title does give some results here at thesession it doesn't seem to be for that particular tune. Do any of you guys have the ABCs for it?

Best wishes,
Brian

Re: Johnny Harling's reel

A Google search suggests that it's written by Liz Carroll, but I couldn't find ABCs for it.

Re: Johnny Harling's reel

here we go again ... I quite often post this reply and I quite often get into trouble for it. But here we go again ...

Why do you need the ABC? If you have the recording, learn it off that. If you have dificulty learning tunes off a recording, here's your chance to practice.

Johnny Harling's

Maybe a long shot, but it wouldn't be this, would it ?

Agree with Michael, though - if you have the recording................

Don't get me wrong, learning from a CD is a good way to go, but a big part of thesession is the sharing of ABCs and sheetmusic, is it not? It's not like I'm walking into a baker's shop wanting to buy a cat ;-)

Just wanted to confirm that the tune is indeed properly called "Johnny Harling's Reel" and is by Liz Carroll. From the horse's mouth.
