There were two entries for Joan MacDonald Boes, one with surname Boes (#2140) and the other with surname MacDonald Boes (#10511).

The tunes Sweetness of Mary and Hughie Jim Paul’s Reel, both already in the database, were assigned to #2140 and #10511 respectively.

I have reassigned Hughie Jim Paul’s Reel (tune #11779) to person #2140 and deleted the duplicate person #10511.

The recording mentioned, called My Lily, is 4th track on album Triple Fiddle which seems to be mostly non-SCD recordings (according to https://musicbrainz.org/release/741bbb92-dece-4508-a950-c080c9cd6891). One of the other albums mentioned, Another Gem (https://www.discogs.com/Aly-Bain-Phil-Cunningham-Another-Gem/release/5161422) also seems light on SCD tracks. Perhaps minimal entries could be made for them…?
