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.
