Gaiety School (Olly Oakley)

[carrie horgan]

I wondered if anyone knows who composed the tune 'Gaiety School' as played by Olly Oakley - it is on the Jukebox here but the author is listed as unknown.  I would like to track down the music score if at all possible.

Sorry, Carrie. I looked thru my holdings and cannot find a copy of it. Neat little piece though! If you find it, let us know.

Dear Carrie,

I decided to check myself and lo and behold found an arrangement by Vess L. Ossman; here's a scan/pdf. Hope this'll help you figure it out!

My very best wishes,

Chris W.

Thanks you Chris.  

I think it might be a different tune but I will give it a go!  Cheers.

Oy, indeed it is. My apologies! I guess there are two "gaieties" in the banjo literature. How could I not have noticed this? Off to the psychologist with what's left of my cerebellum.

Contrite regards, once more, though my very best, regardless,
