Johnny Harling's

Composed by Liz Carroll. This is a transcription of her playing, from her album "A Friend Indeed", Track 5.

The title "Johnny Harling's" was previously linked to the tune "Dusty Windowsills" as an alternate title. This setting here is a different tune entirely -- though, presumably, named by Liz Carroll in honor of the same Johnny Harling of Chicago who is credited with composing "Dusty Windowsills", and whose daughter contributed some very interesting comments to that tune listing!

Note: The "Johnny Harling's" on Joanie Madden's album "A Whistle on the Wind", Track 6, which is linked from this tune is a different tune yet. It's "With Ourselves", also composed by Johnny Harling, and also named for him as an alternate title. "With Ourselves" is listed separately in the tune database.

& further down the thread:

The tune is "Johnny Harling's", composed by Liz Carroll, from her album "A Friend Indeed", Track 5.

Unfortunately, if you look up "Johnny Harling's" here, you get "Dusty Windowsills". Maybe I'll sit down later and transribe the Liz Carrol setting. Meanwhile, here's a transcription of the setting on your esnips recording. Enjoy!

Hey MTG, what's a 'J' in ABC parlance? That's a new one on me:

|: e | J f2 Bc dfbf | ~ & dFAd J f2 aA | ~ :-/

Ah, right. The J is an upward slide. Usually rendered as a short, rising line curving up to the note. It's part of the ABC 2.0 standard as +slide+, and assigned to J in abcm2ps 3.6.2 and later. But I guess it's not implemented here. Oh well. On those f#s on the recording, Liz grabs either an e or f natural then slides slowly up to the f#. In fact, on those e-f# slides, it sounds like she's sliding on the second string, but I'm no fiddle expert ...

Oh, and thanks ceolachan for reposting my other transcription. I meant to do that! I like proinsasrua's esnips setting a lot. It's less fussy than the original.
