My Ballingarry Lady
This is from a CD made by a local group called Fonn based in Enniscorthy, Co.Wexford. Padraig Sinnott and his wife Brigid play in the group along with Patrick Kavanagh on fiddle. Padraig plays pipes and whistle/ flute and was on last years Comhaltas tour in Ireland and I think maybe this year in USA. Anyway this lovely track is by Joe Whelan, a box player from Wexford based in the States and is titled after his mother from Ballingarry in Co.Tipperary. There is a lovely version on the Fonn CD, with Padraig and Brigid alternating between whistle and box on the various parts. I have posted here in D major but when I play it on the whistle I like to flatten the C's which gives it a mellow feeling.

Nice tune, but should a bunch of the measures have an extra half beat. I'm seeing several measures that have 2 quarter notes and 3 eighth notes, which adds up to 3.5 beats. Am I missing something?

Jason,
those '3 eighth notes' are a triplet - that's the way I play and entered them - hasn't come out quite right on the Sheetmusic. It's in 3/4 time so the these add up to a crotchet and the other two make up the bar.
Also the dotted notes in the second part of the tune are generally rolled or ornamented.

Yeah, I know about triplets, but my brain wasn't thinking last night that that's what they could be. I was just reading what was there. All I know is when I was reading the sheetmusic, I kept getting off because of that apparent extra 1/2 beat. Clarified. Thanks.

Hussar, I think you'll find it was written by *John* Whelan, not Joe.
