%For those who are as curious as I was to discover where this
%tune name originates, a little Irish History 101:
%The Marquis de St.Ruth was a French general who participated in 
%the unsuccessful attempt to force the British out of Western 
%Ireland in the late 17th Century. He was killed in July 1691 at 
%the Battle of Aughrim and is buried in Loughrea, Co. Galway.
%I'm not sure what "bush" refers to but I'm guessing it was a
%landmark on the battlefield somewhere.
