- Carl, do you have the notation for Riverside Schottische? Seeing as you are from Kansas, I have Kansas Jig with the 3rd Part by Ellis. Usually you only find it wiith 2 parts.

- Hi Carl, yes, I believe I tabbed it out last year. I haven't been near my home computer in a week (we've been doing a bunch of cleaning and it is buried at the moment) but I'll check for it tonight. ===Marc

- Hi Carl
With the festive season drawing near, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for creating the Ning site. I am sure that everyone who has contributed and learned from it, appreciates the fun that we have all had over the past months. So to you and all the members, Merry Christmas and have a safe one. Ray

- Hi Carl
Would 'The Kilties' and ' The Jovial Huntsman ' be plagerism, I wonder? Very Interesting!
