Does anyone know of published sources for these tunes?

Thanks.

Mike,

The Gypsy Weaver was composed by Liz Donaldson.  I don't believe it has
been published, however, Liz's e-mail address is xxx@xx.xxx. Sorry I can't
help you with Jennifer's Jig.

hi Mike -
I think Jennifer is a Fitchett tune.

According to John Drewry's Silver City Book, where Jennifer's Jig (the
dance) is published, the tune is by Drummond Cook. DanceData says that
it appears in a collection called the `Tae Gar Ye Loup Book 1', which
also seems to contain a bunch of other popular Drummond Cook tunes such
as the Back Shore Hornpipe, The Knock of Braemoray and the eponymous Tae
Gar Ye Loup.

Anyone know where to buy this? I think I could use a copy.

I have the LP of Drummond Cooks Tae Gar Ye Loup and it contains
Shiftin Bobbins, Schiehallion, The Bees of Maggieknockater, The Duchess
Tree, Jennifers Jig, Cold & Raw, The Moray Rant (recorded four times rather
than 3), Johnnie's Welcome Hame,The Balmoral Strathspey and the Knock of
Breaemoray.. If this is the album you want I shall be happy to do a copy
onto a cassette and forward it to you - I would require your address.

Regards
