Tune search - sorry!

[benhall.1]

I never do this. Still, I've tried Tunepal and The Reverend's ABC Tunesearch to no avail, so here goes.

This came to me this morning, but I swear I didn't write it in my sleep. I have only the first part. I think I may have a second part, but it would be quite nice to know if I'm making that bit up, at least, 'cos, unsure as I am about the first part, I'm very unsure about the second part.

It's in a sort of slow hornpipe, or maybe barndance, type of rhythm, and goes something like this (not necessarily this key):

X:1
M:4/4
L:1/8
K:G
(3B^cd | edBA GABG | EFGE D2DE | G2GA BddG | B2A2 A2(3B^cd |
edBA GABG | EFGE D2DE | G2GA BddB | A2G2 G2 :|

Anybody have any clue?

I think it's the demo tune from the Burke whistles website. Hang on ...

[MTGuru]

Maybe, maybe not. I'm thinking of Demo Tune #5, Horse Keane's played by Jerry O'Sullivan, and identified in a recent thread

http://burkewhistles.com/sounds/Low%20F ... -04-45.mp3

Could it be a transmogrified version? That's the kind of thing that happens to tunes in my head.

[benhall.1]

It kind of does sound similar, and I've been listening to it lately ('cos of that thread, apart from anything else ) ... but I don't think it's that one. The main reason I'm saying that is that I'm pretty sure that that bit at the start - after the first few notes - the GABG | EFGE D2DE | G2 ... that bit. Well, I think that's this tune's USP. And that's not really like Horse Keane's.

... maybe I've mixed up my tune's USP with bits of Horse Keane's.

Hmmm ...

United States Post?
Underlying Structural Paradigm?
Universal Sensory Psychoacoustics?

What about this one? http://tunearch.org/wiki/Mr._Hogert's_Hornpipe

This is going to turn into a demonstration that all hornpipes and barndances are, in fact, the same tune, isn't it?

Unique Selling Point. The 'hook', if you like.

That one looks much closer to me. I know the second part isn't from the one that I'm thinking of, but that first part is damn' close.

Um ... probably, I'm afraid.

Sounds a bit like "If we hadn't any women in the world."

mahanpots! Thank you so much! That is definitely it. My memory had obviously jumbled it a bit - or maybe I'd heard a somewhat different setting - but that's it. Strangely, I think I might have done better to write out the second part as I had it in my mind - you know, the one I was less confident about? - 'cos it's pretty much exactly the same as the second part to that first transcription on the session.org.

Thanks again. Good stuff!

You're welcome, Benhall. I like that tune a lot. I heard it played by Hammy Hamilton online somewhere, followed by a tune called Moneymusk.

It's the first tune in his album The Moneymusk, actually. A really fun one to play at sessions -provided the folk know it
