Re: [scots-l] two tunes and a list wanted
Below is the start of a project listing Gaelic waltzes. perhaps a better list might be compiled by Scots-L? Anyway, not what you were looking for, Exactly what I was looking for, many thanks. but it might provide an idea or two. Jimmy Shand's books of waltzes (were there three or four of them?) contain some sets, and they can be obtained from ? in Perth. I've got the first two (wre there others?), published by Mozart Allan in Glasgow. Most of the sets are other kinds of waltz, but I guess you can use this for one of your indexes?

I'm familiar with a number of them, as they are Gaelic songs as well. That's a wonderful list. Will have to see if some of those Gaelic Air ones are known to my musician friends who could play them out to see if they are songs I know as well. Bidh mi 'gad fhaicinn!!!

[scots-l] two tunes and a list wanted
Does anybody happen to have already-typed-in ABCs for either The Braes of Locheil or Ladies from Hell? I could find them myself but I'm in a hurry - Braes of Locheil just needs to be accurate enough to stop me recomposing the second half on the fly every time I try to play it, but I'd rather Ladies from Hell was reasonably close to mil-spec. Secondly, does anybody have a sizable list of Gaelic waltz tunes and where to find them? Every ceilidh band seems to have its own set with something in it nobody else does, and I've never seen a book-sized collection of them. - Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack * food intolerance data recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files and CD-ROMs of Scottish music. off-list mail to j-c rather than scots-l at this site, please Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
