"The Ballydesmond March" ~ source for another transcription
"Music of Ireland: Where's the Crack?"
Edited by David J. Taylor
Dave Mallinson Publications, 1997
ISBN: 1-899512-27-6
Pages 31 - 32: Miscellany
Page 31: "The Ballydesmond" (march)
This is where I got the title for this, but while the melody is familiar I think I knew this originally under a different name, so if anyone else out there recognizes it or has more to add, it would be very welcome... So far I haven't managed to find anymore information, which is why I hadn't submitted this earlier. I'll keep my eyes open, along with any other gan ainms I'm guilty of adding to the database here...
(guilt!)
