Her Mantle So Green

I heard a friend play this air the other day and I liked it a lot. I have the dots for it but I find it easier to learn a tune when I can use my ears too. I have looked on all the trad tune sites I know of but I haven't found an MP3 or a MIDI for it. Does anyone know a source for it? Don't anybody sprain your mouse wrist over this. But if you've got a line on it I'll be happy to get it.

Jackie Daly plays it a lot, I think I have him playing it on a benefit CD we did a few years ago, I can send you the MP3 if you like.

Cherish the Ladies have a beautiful version of this tune in "Threads of Time". Sorry for the link, Seems a bit long but it's anyway one click.

Amar, lovely version that from Brenda Hunter. How do you make the direct link to the sound clip? I know...a bit on the off topic side...

Patrick Street does a very nice sweet version of that song.

Oh, that's lovely!
Perhaps Burnsbyrne might share those dots with the class??

(By the way- dots are like tinwhistle tablature, right? I can read music fine too---)

You can find ABC and dots at http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2888

Edited to add:

That version is in E minor and runs too low. If you transpose it into B minor and play it on a low G whistle, it works fine. (B minor on a high D whistle is a bit piercing, as it goes up to the second octave C#.) Here's the ABC for it in B minor:

X: 1
T: Her Mantle So Green
M: 3/4
L: 1/8
R: waltz
K:Bmin %Transposed from EMIN
FA|:B3 c B2|B2 A2 F2|dc d3 e|f4 de|f2 b2 ab|f2 e2 fe|
d2 B2 AF|A4 dc|B3 c B2|B2 A2 F2|dc d3 e|f4 de|f2 b2 ab|f2 e2 fe|
d2 B2 A2|B4 z:|
|:b3 c' b2|a2 f3 a|b3 a f2|a4 fa|b3 a b2|f2 e2 fe|d2 B2 AF|A4 dc|
B3 c B2|B2 A2 F2|dc d3 e|f4 de|f2 b2 ab|f2 e2 fe|

I would be happy to share my dots but I am technologically challenged so I don't know how to get the paper copy I have onto the Chiff board. BTW, the dots I have are standard music notation, not tablature. The version I have is in 4/4 time, with two sharps, possibly B minor?
