Tom Ward's Downfall
This tune was posted in The Session a few months ago under its more common name of Tom Ward's Downfall. As I recall it, it was a slightly different setting, so this posting may not be in vain.

The Mourne Mountains 9th bar
There is a slip in the 9th bar of the sheetmusic:
The last note is not a low D, it's a high D.

The Mourne Mountains wrong note
The wong low D is in the 12th bar ( the 4th of the B part), not in the 9th, as i wrote before.

It is the same tune Scrappy, though it's not listed on the album sleeve.

Yes, Scrappy: Davy Spillane plays it more or less like this (The c sharps in the triplets are a quirk of the pipes; but I think they sound better than nats).
