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...? I´m having a tough time figuring it out supposedly it´s also called the lads of leith, but both versions of that tune which found on the internet do not match Jerry Holland´s playing at all thanks a million!

RE: [scots-l] Re: Rocky Road to Dublin
I have seen arrangements in which it is referred to as traditional and wondered how far back this might be.

Re: [scots-l] help please!
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...?

Here it is; enjoy! That o chord marking at the end of the 2nd line is
supposed to denote an open harmonic for the a; he indicates a slide using
the 4th finger up from the e. I'm not sure if there's a way to show that in
abc. -Steve
