"The Brig O' Perth" ~ C: Donald Dow

With the gentle return of one of our members, alias Dow, I thought it only right to add something from his namesake, as a welcome back... Some have this as AAB, but it doesn't fit the usual dances well that way... This is a fun one to play and to dance to as well...
