Hi Frank,

Thanks for posting the front and back covers of "The Connaught"... do you have the bits in the middle as they are quite important??

:-)

Yes, I have the complete sheet music comprising 1st and 2nd Banjo (3 sheets); Banjo and Piano (3 sheets) and 1st and 2nd Mandolines (2 sheets) and the (posted) back page. I can photocopy all and post you a copy if you wish? They are published in A3 and my scanner is A4. Regards. Frank

I have an extremely tattered copy of this...though I believe it is only 1st and 2nd banjo. Mine looks to have been stuffed in someones back pocket for a number of years and then flattened back out with a large hammer...and is almost unreadable. Will be nice to see a complete score!

Have you ever considered song writing, Marc? You certainly have a way with words. "Stuffed" in the back pocket, not folded. I love it. Kate and I both got a good laugh from this. And then we came to the large hammer and laughed some more.

LOL. Glad to have made someone laugh, though it wasn't intended...it is just the way my mind works.

I do have a history of winning silly writing contests. I won a V-8 engine dress-up kit (chrome thingies to put on your V-8 engine) years ago for a Valentine's day poem. Unfortunately, I didn't own a car that had a V-8. I have won two "drabble" contests (100-word prose) online. Received a nice fountain-pen for one and a painting (which I've never picked up) for the other.

I've actually written a set of lyrics for Cammeyer's "Christmas Carol", and I would love to hear someone sing them.
