Notes
Written in 6/8 but appears to be in 9/8 or 3/2.Possibly author not familiar with 9/8 and attempted to make tune fit 6/8. This "March" therefore turns out to be a lovely slip-jig. NeilB. barred in 6/8 in MS 1 dotted in MS in effort to fit into 6/8 2 notes EGE precede C2C in MS - probable error which I have taken the liberty of editing
