The Frontier Reel
From thr playing of my favourite fiddler of the moment, Howie MacDonald. It is, of course, in Bb (with a bit of Bb mix thrown in) so it is probably not a tune that will be taken up with glee by Irish instruments.
Howie plays it AABBCCAA. This version varies quite significantly from the version in Jerry Holland's second book which also has the order as CCBAA.
