Notes

A very good (but also extremely annoying at times) friend moved away and this tune was written to remember him by - partly from sadness, but mostly from relief that he'd left! It is an unusual 4-part jig because the 2nd part was written as a slip jig. However, I haven't worked out how to change time signatures in abc so I've just kept it in 6/8 all the way through. So if you play it, it should have that slippy feel in the middle. This was originally written for the scordatura tuning A,DAd.
