Fahey's

Another tune off the excellent "Happy to Meet" recording by PJ Crotty And James Cullinan. Crotty used a B flat flute for the set that includes this tune and Crehan's Kitchen. When I learned this tune from the recording I tuned my fiddle up to Eflat, and therefore played along as if it was in D instead of the proper G. Then I realized that Cullinan had his fiddle tuned down to Bflat. I actually prefer to play it in D, but this is the key in which Paddy Fahey apparently wrote it.

The Fb notes in the second part should be F (natural). An F flat note is the same as an E note.

Nice tune! I think this is the one John Williams recorded on concertina and low whistle after "Paddy Canny's Toast."

I noticed the mistake as soon as I saw the dots. When I added the _ symbol to the F# I assumed it would flatten it one half-step, making the note an f natural. Sorry for the error. How can I correct the sheetmusic?
