What a lovely tune! Shame you just copied it note for note from Henrik Norbeck's tune index. Yet another cut & paste job for thesession.org, and you couldn't even be bothered to make a single comment about it

I think the transcription is from Mary Bergin's playing, rather than Mike Rafferty's. You can hear short clips of both at Amazon:

Brendan Breathnach, in Ceol Rince na hEireann 3, notates Mary Bergin's playing and puts it in G, with all the Cs natural. I have just listened to the source recording - Bergin's Feadoga Stain - and she is playing C naturals. Mike Rafferty's version has C sharps and C naturals, whereas the main tune here uses sharps only. Does anyone here play it? How do you play it?
