Miss Girdle

I picked up this gorgeous Scottish pipe tune this morning from the CD "The First Harvest" by Iain MacDonald and Iain MacFarlane. It really sounds great on their flute and fiddle duet. I love the bouncy feel of the whole tune and the ending of each phrase.

Does anybody think of good Irish tunes which go well with this reel? Some Donegal reels might have similar effects.

Great tune. The a's in the second part are all normally in the upper octave.
