Tune name and have I got it right?
Woke up this morning with a tune going through my head, as I always do. I only had the first part up until now, and tried it in Tunepal without success. Then I thought I knew the second part, but I might not be right with that. Anyway, below is what I've got.
So, firstly, what's the tune represented by the first part?
And secondly, have I matched the right second part? Is there any more?
The thing is, I just know it's a really common tune, so why I can't find it ...

Re: Tune name and have I got it right?
At times it seems you could be hinting at Bill Malley's Barndance, but at other times, not so much.
My brain hurts

Bill Malley's ... hmmm ... let's have a look ...Mr.Gumby wrote:At times I think you're aiming for Bill Malley's Barndance, but then you drift away from it again.
... nope, I'm sure it's not that. I'm pretty convinced I have the first part right, so it's a different tune from Bill Malley's ...

Re: Tune name and have I got it right?
The B part's not right, but I don't recall the name. The B part almost goes a bit the way you started, but then the second half is the same as the A part.
It's a march (or possibly a barndance)! I'm pretty sure it's one Harry Bradley played (on one of his albums).
I've tried cutting the note lengths in half - you might get more results that way on tunepal as it worked on abctunesearch.com.

Re: Tune name and have I got it right?
Thanks Nico. Bang on! And yes, I think I've made the second part from a totally unrelated French tune! Probably fooled by a similar start to it ...NicoMoreno wrote:Bruce's March on The Night Rambler's Companion.

I like the full name, too! But yeah, not common in Irish music as far as I'm aware. So you're ok!

Re: Tune name and have I got it right?
In fact, the second part is nothing like mine!
I got the first part right though. And the second part I'd grafted on is, I'm sure, a completely unrelated French tune.

Re: Tune name and have I got it right?
Oh, and a warning for those looking for the dots over on the session.org - the tune linked to the recording is a completely different tune. Not in any way related. If I feel like it I might notate the second part of Bruce's March in a bit ...
