The following is the titles/page numbers/years of publications myself and Sarah have identified. Do you have one of the following? Do you have an edition not described below? Please let us know by sending us a note at cceoregon@gmail.com.
‘East Ave Tune List’ Trish O’Neil — is this even the title? It's missing coverpage/preface & date but likely ~mid 90s (54 pgs)
‘NOT at MY father’s knee: a collection of tunes from the Sunday night session, formally the East Ave early session’ O’Neil & Cardin — missing date but likely ~2002 (95 pgs)
‘NOT at MY father’s knee: a collection of tunes from the Sunday night session, formally the East Ave early session’ O’Neil & Cardin — undated but pre-2005 with duplicate tunes/lacking tune composers/etc. (155 pgs)
‘NOT at MY father’s knee: session tunes for the REST of us from the Portland session’ O’Neil & Cardin — March, 2005 (185 pgs) MOST RECENT?
Late 1990s
The original (as far as we know) Portland Irish tune collection reflecting the repertoire played at sessions at the East Avenue Tavern in the mid-late 1990s. This collection was made by Trish O’Neil who passed in 2015. It is the foundation for all other Portland tune collections. Our PDF here is missing a coverpage, preface (if Trish wrote one), and date but contains roughly 54 pages of tunes.
March 2005
This is the most recent edition (once again, as far as we know) of the Portland Irish tunes collection but has expanded beyond the repertoire from the East Ave Tavern to include tunes introduced at other sessions in the Portland area – hence the new title. Sarah Cardin helped in the process, sourcing composers names, identifying duplicate tunes, editing mispellings as well as staff notation. This edition is dated March, 2005 and contains roughly 185 pages of tunes.
