Has anyone used the Matt Cranitch book of The Art of Irish fiddle Playing? I am looking for a book that would have Jigs Reels and Hornpipies used for step dance.

Here's one link, but I think he has many more materials out, too. Just FWIW. melbay.com/product.asp?ProductID=98360WBCD

	nfritzjr says: 5/2/2011 7:47:34 AM Since you asked about music books I assume that you are looking for sheet music. . Chief O'Neils 1001 tunes has a good selection of tunes you would know and there are a few differant books to select from. TimK already mentioned "The Fiddlers Fake" Book: . This link thesession.org/tunes/index.php has a large selection available to search through, if you know the name of a tune that you would be interested in finding .
	Bart says: 5/2/2011 11:52:53 AM Just a follow up from me about Paul McNevin's book and CD. I ordered them, and I am really enjoying them. I've learned a few tunes, and I like the assistance in adding in various ornaments. The CD has a LOT of good tunes on it.
	nfritzjr says: 5/2/2011 12:53:18 PM Just as Bart said here is a followup to what I posted B4, this link freesheetmusic.net/dance1.html will take you to a website for O'Neil's dance music that I made mention earlier. Hope you like it/can use it. 1001 tunes. . .Slainte
