Is this single note melody or are chords annotated as well?

Have the first book. Excellent! Will get this too.

Gary, have you seen 'Walton's ; 110 Irish Concertina Tunes Vol 1 by Aogan Lynch' ?

It is for Anglo, BTW, but lacks a Tab.

How about working those into your series on Irish Anglo Tunes?
