One one of his earlier albums, possible Skyedance. I think he plays it in F#min

The "J.B." Reel

Composed by Scottish music lover James Murdoch Henderson in 1932 and published in his book Flowers of Scottish Melody. If I remember rightly, it was also recorded by Jonny Hardie and Gavin Marwick. The "JB" in question was James B Paterson, a headmaster at Cullen, "a perfivid Scot; cultured musician; friend of James Scott Skinner".
