Has anybody got the ³dots² for ³She moved through the fair²?  ABC, pdf,
whatever.

Thanks,

March of the King of Laois             (sp?) is Irish, easy to  play and a
lovely slow march.              Atholl Highlanders, while Scottish, is  a
faster march             and really good fun to play on gurdy as well.
William              and I play them together as a set and they make for a
nice              pairing.

Have              fun!

Felicia.
