Another Geese in the Bog, completely different from the ones you have already. I think this is a lovely tune, best played not too fast. I sometimes play a role at the first crochet E, and maybe at the high gs instead if gfg. Also a flick on the second of the two consecutive Bs.

This version appears to parts 1, 3 and 4 of the six part jig "The old gray goose". The old gray goose is a great tune.

Sorry! I made a couple of mistakes first time. All fixed now I hope.
Does anyone else know it as 'Geese in the Bog'?

Old Grey Goose, by me.

I didn't want to mislead people so I changed the name. It may have been better to delete it but I don't know how.

seems a bit similar (only a bit mind) to da full rigged ship (i think so anyway, correct me if im wrong)

This transcript here, as with the earlier one linked to above, also resolves on 'E', so not A Dorian, it is e minor...
