I'd be willing to help, also.

Paul that's a great idea! I have often thought that there should also be a tunebook that contains the traditional tunes that are frequently discussed on the board.

Yes Jesse I love you too, and if it weren't for the fact that I'm hopelessly in love with my wife and son I'd...oops sorry I got OT. Thanks for the info on the book I'm taking it to the beach with me this week, based on your recomendation.

Hey friends,
I've searched the major sources (JC's, WWW index, etc.) and come up empty handed! Can anyone point me to the following tunes in ABC format?

Bridie Morley's Favorite (reel)

Hey I'm a pinky player, too! It works for me and I love it.
