Reel o'Whirlie
Lauren MacColl says that she found this little gem in a book of Gideon Stove's tunes that she brought back after her first visit to Shetland in 2004.

I've heard the first few bars played " |:d,| G2 GA BGGB | GBBg, A2 Ac ". I quite like the sound of it with the High G's though.

I have edited the ABC to bring those High G's down, which is how Mr. Stove wrote it. Weird, but I had checked the ABC that I first submitted at Concertina.net, and it did not show the high
G's, so I thought I was ok. Thanks Creathana!

Reel O'Whirlie - ABC
Concertina.net gives "d," as D , maybe the ABC converter here doesn't (it's a bit non-standard)
