Errata
Having finally learned to edit the book format, please note the following for the first 3 printings. - Lesl Harker, August 2006.
- Notation typo - Page 41 no. 137 The Cup of Tea has two C naturals marked in the first part, which should be B's.
- In the back of the book, the note about the Killabegh House should be for Carraroe House. Killabeg House is Paddy Fahey's; the Carraroe House was the big house, Anna Rafferty's, where the Ballinakill band sometimes practiced.
- Larkin's Beehives, the reel by Paddy O'Brien (Nenagh), is titled "Dominic Rooney's" on the Rafferty recording. Mike's title (he had the tune from Dominic Rooney) is missing from the indexes but the tune is there under its actual title Larkin's Beehives.
