Eight comments

I know the key signature is wrong so any guidance on that matter would be greatly appreciated.

I learnt this tune off Jack Talty at the Willie Clancy Summe School and i was just searching for varations but couldnt find the tune…Plenty of tunes called Mountain Dew and the likes but none the same or a variation as far as i could tell.

If this is a copy of a tune already on the database please let me know…

Morning ?

Looks to me like a badly-mangled version of the “Morning Dew”, with a part missing.

Cup of Tea

The B part reminds me of Cup of Tea

Mountain Dew key signature

From the way its written, the key is e minor (the relative minor of G major, so with one sharp).

Mountain Dew, X:2

This is a more simple 2 part setting, transcribed here from the playing of Mick O’Brien & Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh on their album “Deadly Buzz”

Belter. Brilliant setting.
