"The Meenotogues Lad" ~ one not in the cannon of common...
I was actually playing this over the week of my lurgy, and realized no version of it was here. Then I saw this ~

And I wasn't sure what I could offer, other than another slide, if one that doesn't fit the 'norm' of that particular discussion, a request for well worn slides in sets, and their origins...

"The Meenotogues Lad" ~ another source for this, if different
"Johnny O'Leary of Sliabh Luachra:
Dance Music from the Cork-Kerry Border"
edited by Terry Moylan
The Lilliput Press, Dublin, 1994
ISBN: 1-874675-42-2
Pages 14 & 15, tune #24: "The Meenotogues Lad"
I would have most likely picked this up from Johnny O'Leary, or someone else in the area, so can't account for the differences I have in it as compared to the Terry Moylan transcription. I'd love to know if others have a similar version, and to see them, as there were other ways I was also remembering and finding. Here is an approximation of the longer transcription found in the book, basically AABB, without a first and second ending ~
