Greetings! Is anyone here familiar with the CD Celtic Harmony? I'm trying to find sheet music for the third track Si Bheag Si Mhor (played on the fiddle). So far, all the sheet music by that name that I've located doesn't sound like what's on the CD. Anyone know where I can find sheet music for this?

Rosie, it wasn't because you were spelling it wrong. There's just spelling variations with that tune. IE> Sheebeag, Sheemore; Si Beag, Si More; Sheebeg, Sheemor; Little Fairy, Big Fairy; ect.

Illuminating the falls, paths, and
The breathtaking Elvish dwelling
Set back among great trees.
Lilting strains of Elven songs fill my heart;
I am finally home.

Harmony.

Very nicely done. One of my favorite tunes and love playing it. What "C" whistle was used on the track?

PVC, but not like the PVC Sustatos. I
think it feels like something different than "plastic".

I was in the public restroom at the Tulsa Zoo. And there was a sign up "Please do not dispose of candy wrappers, ect. in toilet." Someone had put a red mark through the "ect." and written "-10 spelling."

Aha, we call it "She Begs for More!

There's also that perennial favourite Scarey Monster (The Star of Munster). Any other good colloquial titles for well known tunes?

Fear not! I have no intention of learning, playing, or even listenting to It's a Small World. :smile:
