Border Collie
This is one of my own tunes, a single reel, written in 1975. Here's a link where you can hear how I play it on fiddle:

I like the tune, but isn't the A part really in Bmin with the note 'G' skipped so the G# doesn't matter. Obviously the B part is in Amaj. I love the key change between the two parts.

A part key
Hi Donough - yes, you could look at the A part as being in Bm. I probably stuck 3 sharps to it thinking of all the other minor tunes that are the second of an associated scale (like, Cooley's Reel being in Em with the key signature of D instead of G). Hope that makes sense. BTW, I like your Daisy Rose tune which I've been working on.

The A part is actually in B Dorian. Similarly, Cooley's is in E Dorian.
