The Tune

Well, lets see if this can redeem my reputation after the last fiasco! Played at my local session in Bminor sometimes played in Aminor. This tune didn't seem to be on the server so I posted it!

A minor version

Just found this on a scrap of paper which I got from Gabe McVarish at a fiddle workshop at the Gaelic College, Skye, July 2004

Thanks for the minor version...

Thanks, Edgar for that! I'm enjoying playing it... interesting contrast in modality/tone center between the parts!
