By the master himself. What more can be usefully said?

I searched and was surprised to find it’s not already in the database.

Well, since you asked…

What I find a terrific boon
Is to tell us where you got the tune;
A book, a record, a ceilidh, a friend?
Down at your session, the latest trend?
Perhaps from your uncle, your dad, your mum,
At whose knees such gems did come?
The more information that you can give,
The more the tune begins to live
And breathe, and be part of the tradition,
The more to be of use to us musicians.
