It's in Jerry Holland's (First) Collection. I can't remember, Eva; can you handle ABC? If so I can transcribe it from the collection for you if nobody else has it handy. His notes say "First published in a G minor setting as The Lads of Leith in James Oswald's 'The Caledonian Pocket Companion (circa 1747). Later adapted as a song by Robert Burns. The A minor setting was introduced to the Cape Breton repertoire by Little Jack MacDonald."
BTW, did you check Cranford's site at www.cranfordpub.com? They have a lot of abcs online for CB tunes that I don't think get indexed by JC's. -Steve Eva Aralikatti wrote: > Hi there! > > does anyone by any chance have the sheetmusic of "the beauties of the > ballroom" of the version that Jerry Holland plays on "Master Cape Breton > Fiddler"...? > > Iīm having a tough time figuring it out.... > supposedly itīs also called "the lads of leith", but both versions of that > tune which found on the internet do not match Jerry Hollandīs playing at > all.... > > thanks a million! > > Eva -- Steve Wyrick -- Concord, California Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
