Desperate for Song! Please Help!!
Dia Duit!
My name is Laya Annie Moore and I am origionally from Cork. Now in Canada and am having a difficult time finding a certain song. Seamus O'Briens Waltz. I already know how to play it, and have found it here under tunes...but what I need help with is finding an origional copy.
I want to play in a Music Festival and the "Royal Conservitory" rules state that you have to have an origional copy of the song, weather it's in a book or a "bought" sheet of music. I am very accustomed to fiddle contests and just jamming at pubs..etc...etc...and I learn by ear. They don't care where the song came from, just as long as you play the bloody thing aye!
I have contacted mates and family in Cork, but none of them can find the bloody song anywhere and have called music stores with the same results.
Anyone out there know what books it would be in, or how to obtain an "origional" copy?.....no photocopies.
Slon Leat!

Print it off of the Database here.

That does seem to be the best option. Not all trad songs are readily available in printed media, and printing out an on-line copy may be your only recourse.
I did check both my O'Neill's, just in case, but didn't find it there.
