Leroy Troy doesn't just play music, he exudes the very essence of a grand old tradition of showmanship dating back to the early half of the 20th century, epitomized by one of his idols, Uncle Dave Macon . " Tune Finder John Chambers' ABC Tune Finder is a great resource to locate and learn traditional tunes. A search returns links to download the tune in abc format, the whole .abc file in which the tune was found, a postscript, .eps or .gif image, or a MIDI file of the tune. Very convenient, and no additional software is required to get the tune in standard notation. John is all the time looking for ABC tune sites to add to his list, so if anyone has their favorite ABC tunes online, they should send him the URL (email to jc@trillian.mit.edu).   Tune Index Search Want to find the printed version of a tune? You can now search James Stewart's master index of hundreds off tunebooks, with a total of over 35,000 entries. Part of the Ceolas Home Page. Primarily Celtic focus, but the Index contains a wealth of old-time preferences as well.
