Brian McNeill tune
Over the last few days, I found myself playing this tune a lot . I had actually learned it a few years ago but, for some reason, it has lain dormant within my memory until now.
Anyway, I think it is a great tune and I especially like the changes from C# to Cnat in part one and the A#'s in part two.
This tune was composed by Brian McNeill and was dedicated to the one and only Jimmy Shand. Apparently, Jimmy Shand had requested some honey for his toast in an English hotel and received the smallest portion he had ever seen. His comment to the waitress was "Ah see ye keep a bee".

John, with a title like that, surely it should be C# to Cgnat?
