I wouldn't be surprised if I've duplicated this and it is already on site. I did a search for it in the keys of G and A and even trying different ways with the ABC's, but without luck... I was very surprised not to find it on site, but that wouldn't be a first.

~ also played in A Major ~ |: cB | A3- A2 B c2 f f^ef | ~

One of the first tunes I learned; from the (live) playing of Michael Gorman and Margaret Barry. It's on their LP/CD Her Mantle So Green. I still play it with Tralee Gaol.

I'm thinking you mean the 2/4 polka set... However, "Tralee Gaol" is easily played in 12/8 as a slide and that would make an equally interesting set...

'c' I love this slide setting you have of this. I only really hear this played as a polka, but as a slide it's great! Can you think of any recordings of the slide version?
