If I Get a Bonnie Lass
Another traditional Shetland Reel - urs. Like Jeannie Shook da Bairn it's fairly old and with a simple structure as you can see. I've tried to indicate typical bowing patterns for fiddle from memory, but like most people, I doubt if I play it identically on different nights - 'grey cell anarchy'. Like most Shetland tunes you tend to let the open A and D strings 'ring' a lot but I thought that it would overcomplicate the notation, so just experiment. Like the band name - get's straight to the point!

Ringing a
As an uilleann piper I can ring only some D, but as long as I like too....
