Does anybody know how old this tune is? All I can seem to find is "trad" which could mean ANYTHING.

MMario, there are a few players who do 7 or more part versions of the Mason's Apron. I haven't got time to look through but I doubt JC's site will have these. I suspect that was what shona was looking for.

I searched for John Ryan, Fory two(which didn't work), 42 which did, Dennis Murphy, Staten, and Foggy Dew......I never use "reel/jig/polka/ whatever at JC's. I think Foggy Dew is also on the DT Mirror site, at numachi, here. JC's is lots easier to use than The Web Wide Index which is Chris Walshaw's abc site.

It returns an entire file that must be converted with an abc program; no midi's or gifs.

Interesting... Staten Island the only way I've ever heard it played, as a reel, but it does make a nice hornpipe too.

Got 'em all now?

o.k.. welll... ummm... I've been flailing around on that site that Matt mentioned, and either I'm searching wrong, or I'm stumping it left right and centre...

So i'll just ask here...

what follows is a list of tuens that we're trying to get out new flute player up to speed on and she's one of those music readers... so I'm trying to find sheet music for...

a set of tunes called the Kerry Polkas... I believe the 3 tunes are called John Ryan's Polka, The 42Lb Cheque, and Dennis Murphys polka
The Tune that Great Big Sea uses in their version of Lukey's Boat... I believe it's the Staton Island Reel...
Also sheet music for The Foggy Dew wouldn't hurt as well.. ("As down the glen one easter morn...")

Thanks ahead of time, for any help you can give me!

;-)

Pretty well all the material available in abc format on the web; it's not all stored there, of course; John runs a web-crawling program to find them, and onsite routines to convert to midi, gif and so on.  It's the first stop of choice when looking for dance tunes.
