Dallas Skies

Hi, all. I apologize in advance if this question is either inappropriate or oft-asked. I've seen several references to an air called "Dallas Skies" written by a member of this community, but I haven't been able to find notation or a recording of it in any searches of this board. Is it out there? I'm really eager to hear/attempt to play it after reading so many good things about it. Thanks!

Unfortunately the link is now down.

I'll just have to get Beth to play it for me again when she visits in late August.

Thanks, Jerry. I guess I didn't do as thorough a search as I'd thought. I appreciate your help!

Edited: Oops, yep. That page is no longer there, apparently. Oh, well. The quest continues...

Hopefully Beth won't mind that I clipped her tune and sheet music... I've linked it here

I have it on my own hard disk if you want it. Both versions, actually - the first one she posted and the 'cleaned-up' version that went up a day or two later.

Unfortunately, I have no way to post something that big here (2.6M) but if you e-mail me, I'll be glad to try and send it and see if your ISP will let it by.

How strange.

The link has been working fine for me all morning, and is working for me now.

Best wishes,
Jerry

The link back to the old thread works OK, but neither of the links to the music and score within the thread works.

"Dallas Skies" is a beautiful tune. It's become a favorite of mine since Avanutria first posted it after the Columbia disaster, and whenever I play it, people stop and say "that was just lovely!"

I know this is a longshot, but are you by any chance related to a guy named John Fredette in North Carolina? He was my boss when I worked in advertising there.

"Dallas Skies" is, indeed, a gorgeous tune. I play it and "Boolavogue" one right after the other.

Duh. Of course not. *Flaps sorehead.*

Larry, what is "Boolavogue"?

It's written in 3/4 time, but I play it as an air. To me, it's as haunting a tune as "Dallas Skies". I first heard it played by Sandy Jasper, of Elfsong Whistles.

It was written about the 1798 rebellion in Ireland.

Thanks for the info, blackhawk! The tune means even more to me now.
