One or two people have posed the question: How much duplication is there of tunes in previous publications? A brief answer is - not much!
For those wanting more detail: of the 52 tunes, half are previously unpublished - mostly old tunes - and eight others come from my book `Dishalagie', out of print since 1990. Six more appear in Alnwick Piper's Society (mostly tunes by Dad or me). This leaves eight tunes from our repertoire which as far as I know don't appear in any volumes of Northumbrian music, and four others which are our versions of `Grace Darling', `Little Fishie', `Tweedside' and `Chickens and Sparrow Grass'. All seconds are previously unpublished. Hope this helps. Best wishes Margaret -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
