Thanks to Brendan McGlinchey, who wrote it, and to kiwi on the session.org who notated it 13 years ago. Sorry about the toolbar at the foot. It makes it look like the whole thing is propped up by a bunch of tools.

In Bar 1 as well? Or just the pattern as in Bar 2?

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Sorry for the sideswipe, and carry on with the entertainments. I do appreciate artful dodging, a sport worthy of better popularity.
