A Bumper At Parting - slip jig

I got this from the playing of Durham (UK) based group Horseplay, who got it from Michael Raven's "English Country Dance Tunes".

Wheels of the World

Interesting, this is basically the same melody used as the vocal setting of the song "Wheels of the World" by John Doyle on his album Evening Comes Early, Track 11.
