I third that but would it be even more wonderful if some clever person
   (I think all three of you have the skills) to put it all done as a
   living piece of music somewhere for all to hear?

   PS Of course they would have to remember to use an universally
   accessible format not like some dullards who upload stuff in windows
   media!

   Matt,
   I don't know, but they should be, as it's a grand tune, of noble
   ancestry...
   Reavely's set is fine but a bit short for addicts of long variation
   sets.
   This may account for the lack of attention so far.
   Alan Douglass and I tried playing it dotless in the Calthorpe session
   last night,
   so at least one other person knows and likes it enough to learn.
   Your extension is very fine; many thanks for this.
   I will have to get used to how it feels under the fingers,
   but it played through very nicely.
   It will go well when I've learned it better.
   The Reavely-Crawhall-Julia-me collaboration sounds ok,
   but Julia's and my strain isn't quite right yet to my ear.
   There is a bit of a temptation that Alan and I noticed,
   to turn it into Newmarket Races, which should be resisted I feel.
   Keeping the tag bars relatively intact should help with this.
   The Crawhall material helps a lot, but some of the ideas are so
   inconsistent
   you wonder which was the main and which the variant reading, and which
   is a typo.
   So my attitude using it has been very much pick and mix.
   More anon,
   John

   Before you read on - is anyone besides John Gibbons, Julia Say and
   myself interested in this? Seriously, please say so, I'd like to know,
   because if not, we can carry on the discussion privately.
   If anyone thinks the three of us are crazy, I would like to point out
   that I have been crazy for longer than them.
   I have refrained from reading Julia's and John's versions till I made
   mine public. I was very taken with this tune at the time of the second
   Bewick edition (1998) and used to play it a lot. I am pleased that
   (two) others also enjoy it. I note that it received zero attention
   until Richard York's hurdy-gurdy query, which is a sobering thought
   regarding the benefits of publication.
   You may need to add line breaks, I have just pasted my text as is.
