The tune listed on The Session was written by Charles Grant... Don't know if Don Messer is playing the Grant tune or one of his own creations.. Having listened to Don play it, I'd think that the Session tune is different!!! Apparently the Railway and Railroad Hornpipes are not the same..

Wow! Great tune. Sorry I can't help with notation. All I can say is that its on YouTube as Day 344 of Patti Kusturok's "365 Days of Fiddle Tunes." Its a little easier to understand when you can see her (seriously busy) fingers.

Probably an hour and a half if I had just sat down at one setting but it was of course Easter weekend. In my teaching career I've transcribed thousands and thousands of different genres of songs in my 60 years in music, now it's my way to escape from the concerns of this world.

It's nice that someone (publicly) thanked him, isn't it?
