James Bryan's reel (2)
From "Mary custy and Eoin O'Neill. the ways of the world" (track 11), you can find 2 "James Bryan's reels", this is the 2nd one.
The playing mood sounds like country bluegrass fiddling, full of variations, I ignored all these features and tried to transcribe the more essential sheetmusic score.

This has as its root a Scottish tune called "The Millar of Drone" (by Nathaniel Gow), of which a version is also found in Ireland as "The Miller of Draughin" and in Cape Breton as "Christie Campbell". And, as musicfoo says above, it's known in the US as "Grey Eagle"
