Anthony Murray's Strathspey
The posting of this tune arose out of Discussion #10662 about the identity of a "mystery" strathspey which seemed to be familiar to some people but which was otherwise difficult to pin down. Following a positive lead by Member #7250 (Greg) as to the name I was able to track down the ABC of this slightly different version in Andrew Kuntz's "The Fiddler's Companion" http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/AN_AP.htm
It's a very old tune, dating back to the 18th century in Scotland.

Troubled by medleys!
I've been listening to my favorite Cape Breton medley, performed by the Rankin Family, called Christy Campbell Medley. I've been researching the individual tunes for my fiddler, and thus far I've found that the medley consists of this:
Christy Campbell Strathspey/Lord Murray Strathspey/Lord Murray Reel/The Thunderbolt Reel/The Weasel
I'm wondering now if the Lord Murray strathspey and the Lord Murray Reel are really one in the same???? This site seems to suggest that they are... so confused. If anyone has sheet music for any of the individual tunes, I would be much obliged

IN NEED of the Thunderbolt Reel sheetmusic!
i love the Christy Campbell Medly!
Is "Anthony Murray's" REALLY the 2nd tune in the set?
I've been looking for the sheetmusic to the Thunderbolt reel, though. It doesn't seem to be listed on the internet. I'm starting to wonder if it has multiple names. ???
Can someone send me a link to the thunderbolt reel, or tell me how i can find a copy of the sheetmusic?
it would be much appreciated.
