John Keith Laing (Reel)

[Strathspey]

I have been listening to my "Polbain to Oranmore" disc and this tune is standing out enough to make me want to learn to play it. Before I go and learn it by ear (and likely wrong), I just wondering if anyone out there knows where an ABC or Standard notation version could be found?

Any leads?

Here's an ABC from John Chambers' ABC tune finder, a very good source for many ABCs

If you don't have an ABC program, you can convert it quickly into sheet music at Tune O Tron

Funny . . . I searched on JC's ABC Tune Finder and got nothing! I spelled the last name Laing (as in the Polbain to Oranmore jacket)instead of Lang . . .

Thank you!
