I heard many months ago that Charlie has had computer problems and
therefore is not on the list. His reticence in mentioning the book
probably comes from modesty, but I mentioned it a few times when I
quizzed him about a similar book in the works, this time a collection
of airs. How long has it been out? It's dated 1997 and it's a very fine
selection of jigs, most of which will be unknown. One of the first
tunes in the book is possibly the first instance of the tune known as
"The Hills of Glenorchy".
