The Rookery

I learned this one in a class with John Skelton at the Swannanoa Gathering several years ago. I'm not sure of it's actual origin. I like following it with "Sally Gardens" (the reel, of course.)

This is my first attempt at transcribing into ABC, so I hope I got it right. I can never remember what the names of the key signatures are. This tune has an F#.

The Rookery

I think this is another composition by Vincent Broderick.

Key signature

Gmaj rather than Dmix, but doesn't matter for the sheet music

Typo ?

The f on the 3rd bar is odd. I'd put a g instead.
