A fine reel, Gian Marco, and doesn't yer man Larry play it well ? Breandan made some comments when he posted the recording this came from, which I wholeheartedly agree with. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a Jerry Holland composition ? If so, credit where it's due, please.

I don't know who's the composer of this reel, it is marked as "traditional" in the inner notes of the Larry's album.
I like a lot the way Laurece plays this reel, and I agree with Brendan and his comments to the album this came from.

David White is a Cape Breton stepdancer of years ago, and Jerry wrote that tune for Dave years ago. The only recording (that David knows) of Jerry playing the tune is on the CD "Traditional Music from Cape Breton Island".

Yeah, Gian Marco - it says "Trad. arr Liz Carroll" under the actual listing of the 2 tunes, but if you look at the "Special thanks to..." section, the third line says : "for their compositions: Gerry (sic) Holland, ("Dave White's " and "Just Cruzin' "). Sorry to be such a stickler !

We know

Longnote pointed that out to us a few days ago. But he never wrote it the way Larry Nugent plays it.
