Gian Marco, they don't actually call it the Rose and the Heater, do they? Tell me that's a typo... Rose + Heater = dead rose... :)

Zina, I haven't the original album of Packie Duignan, I have the mp3 files. I have found the title with "AND" in CDDB (www.gracenote.com).

Heather!

Zina, I just realized that the problem in not "in" or "and", but "Heater"!
Of course is a typo. The rose is in (or and) the HeatHer.

Rose in the Heather

Well done Ryan - my favourite setting of this jig. It's amazing how this great tune can be spoilt by playing both the first and fifth bar as "F3 EFE" which many session musicians tend to do.

Rose in the Heather

The reason the 1st & 5th bar this tune is often played "F3 EFE" is that 2 octave instruments (ie whistle & pipes) have trouble with the low B.

I humbly suggest that if you hear a tune being massacred, its most likely due to the players vs. the setting.

This tune seems to bear remarkable similarities to the 'Rights of Man'?

?

The two tunes don't share the same key or timing.

Sorry- please ignore my comment. Confusing two adjacent midis on my player! (this is getting serious)
