Dr JG Hunter of Aultbea - John Kelly - 12-02-2012 12:35 PM
I found this in the excellent Ceol nam Feis Book2 collection and thought it was just a great wee tune. It was written by Alasdair Downie in tribute to the GP who served for 40 years in the Aultbea area.
Here is a link to it on SoundCloud, played on my octave mandolin with acoustic guitar backing.

What a lovely tune! Does anyone have the abc's or score for it?

Give me a day or two and I'll produce a pdf for you, Pamela.

I'll echo that; you produce a really nice sound on your Soundcloud recordings and it would be great if you could provide the scores for some of them.
Many thanks, Eric

Here is a pdf I made from my transcription in abc format. the first and second time markers seem only to extend over a couple of bars in each case but should of course go to the end of their relevant sections. something in my syntax in the abc file, I think. Sorry about that, folks, but the notes are there. The abc is attached as a word document as I could not upload it as a straight abc file for some reason. Any ideas why the abc was not accepted? Any problems encountered i will try to PM anyone who requests this but cannot download it.
Eric, thanks for kind comments re SoundCloud and I will try to provide scores if requested as I have created several pdfs of those tunes.

Many thanks indeed for the attached pdf file. I like the quality that ABCedit produces. At the moment I am using Musescore, but unless one can instantly recall all its keyboard commands I find it is just as quick to insert the notes by mouse.
Cheers,
Eric

Very nice tune and well played.
This is obviously a relation of Rita Hunter who also has a tune named after her?
It used to be popular at Portobello sessions and in ALP circles as I recall.
In fact, I've just found a pdf of the tune which I believe is much the same as the one I used to play. You may be quite familiar with it already but, just in case, I've attached a copy here.
