Known Composers And Their Tunes

Some of the tunes in Second Wind were composed by known musicians. So far, several of these great 
composers have graciously sent in their own material for inclusion on the Rafferty book website at 
http://www.firescribble.net/rafferty/

The tunes were converted to abc by Lesl Harker and transformed into dots by the Tune-o-Tron at 
http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html 

Tune numbers refer to the book Second Wind - 300 more tunes from Mike Rafferty, where you can find
Mike's settings of these tunes. 

Here are the originals from the musicians who composed them.

H:Composed by Paul Wells as a birthday gift for friend Becky, and inspired by Mike's music. Named 
H:for the bower where Paul and Becky practiced their Mike-tunes at Swannanoa. Later adapted by Mike 
H:and Willie Kelly. "on the campus of Warren Wilson College are magnificent flower gardens.  Tucked away 
H:in the corner of one of the gardens is a nice little bower where my friend [and fellow Rafferty enthusiast] 
H:Becky and I would go every day after Mike's class to run through the tunes he'd just taught us.  I wrote 
H:the tune a month or so later as a birthday present for her, and named it after the spot where we'd spent 
H:so many pleasant hours playing Mike's tunes." - Paul Wells' own notes on the tune.
D:Mike Rafferty, Speed 78.
