In the track listing under Shane McAleer’s album "Long Time, No See", the link for Johnny Leary’s brings you to this tune, but actually the tune on the album is this one:

Re: Johnny Leary’s

I realize the tune in this link below is in the Key of E but is this the same tune as posted above? It sure doesn’t seem like it and if not, does anyone know if the sheet music for this tune that Fergal Scahill’s refers to as Johnny O’Leary’s Jig is on this site somewhere? Thanks so much.

Thanks Jeff!

See Hennigan’s Favourite in Johnny O’Leary of Sliabh Luachra (#181) for a three part jig that is similar.
