Does anyone know if there is a good version of "Lochaber No More" in either
ABC format or GIF format on the web?

I recorded three versions of this tune on my harp album, "Morning
Aire". The Irish version is "Lament for Limerick", the Scottish version is
"Lochaber No More", and then I went into an English Country dance called
"The Irish Lamentation Waltz." They are similar and definitely related, but
different. Fiddler Bonnie Rideout was with me. Available from
