Leitrim Equation

This tune is the first on the Leitrim Equation album. I understand John McKenna used to play this tune sandwiched in between the other jig called McKenna's on this database (aka Up Leitrim). On the album Kevin plays this with a bit of breath pulse on the Bs and plenty of rolls and cranns on the B part. Good stuff!

I think you have left out the '|' where a barline is supposed to appear - i'd change it before the sheetmusic is put up, otherwise there will just be a string of notes.

You're right samburnstone. Sorry about that. I suppose Jeremy corrected it-thanks. BTW, forgot to mention that when repeating A part can play:

| GBd edg :|| and play the | GBd e2d | when going into B part.

Kevin taught this at a workshop recently as described above (the breath pulse being done with a throat/glottaral push). Video here...
