Some time ago a discussion started about tunes in keys not in the pull down menu. This is one. It's in Bb. Another tune from Bb master Howie MacDonald, who precedes it with Theresa Beaton's Jig and follows it with Eddie The Fiddlemaker.
My hand hurts by the end of this tune with the long stretches on the mandolin but it is such a happy tune. It's worth checking out the recording to understand just how bouncily it can be played.

Correction
Yeah, well gor blimey, if I didn't go and make another booboo.
First F in first bar of [1 repeat of b-part should, of course, I hear you all say, be an octave lower than notated. ABC has been corrected.
