I looked on the liner notes and don't see the reel listed but I played the ABC you sent and I definitely remember it. Which track is it part of? Em...em...To the Begging I think. I am currently slogging through a transcription of The Unicorn by Ossian fiddler Stuart Morison as played by the Tannahill Weavers. I am not very good at this, but when I'm passionate about a tune that I want to learn, I force myself to try. I can sort-of play it by ear on fiddle, but it is in 3-flats which is not particularly harp friendly. Once I get it transcribed, I can tell my program to change keys (either up or down) and pick the one that sounds closest to the original key. Wish me luck! Good luck, Barb. Which album is it on?

It's really a pipe setting of the Periwig, and one of these tunes which is more attractive for being downsized for the GHB :) Thanks, Derek. It's in Simon Fraser, I think. I see I have The Periwig on an Old Blind Dogs record - must listen to it. -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Good luck, Barb. Which album is it on? D'you want some help? Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland It's on Capernaum. Finished it last night, and it's a pretty good transcription. Took me a total of about 3 hours - so you can see I don't do this very well. There are no doubt some errors, but it's close. I love it in the key it's in on the fiddle (and I'm not that good in flat keys), but I changed it into E-minor for the harps. The 2 of them loved it. Thanks for the offer of help. If I find a tune with syncopation I know I'll need help. I have trouble with some unusual rhythms - but I love them.
