It's in Emin.

Here it is in a different key, with a different name:

...and here is a version in yet another key, with a different B-part and no name:

"It's in Emin"

Are you telling us or asking us, Slainte?

True, the abc script says "Em". But the register it is written in suggests that it ought to be in D dorian - as it appears in the sheet music. Perhaps Jeremy has taken it upon himself to make a judicious alteration.

Key

I changed it from Ddor to Em and now back.

Oops, that final 'D' should have read:

| D9 || ~ or ~ | D3- D3- D3 ||

There's a different tune with a better second part in Ryan's and Goodman's - I think it's just "slip jig" in both.
The Eminor tune you link above is Paddy Be Easy.

PVB? Isin't that a type of plastic?

# Posted on July 2nd 2006 by Kevin Rietmann

Yeah, I think it might also be a fetish too? Is it contagious at all?

So Kevin, how about giving us one or both of those better second parts here in the comments?
