David Adams
Composed by J.S. Skinner. This version appears on Fisherstreet's "Out in the Night". I think the original version was single, with no repeats, but Fisherstreet had it as a double.

I've decided to edit out the repeats and post this as a single reel. Because both parts have 1st and 2nd time endings, it works as a double as well, but I just think it's punchier and less tediously repetitive in its phrasing as a single, the way it was originally meant to be. If you look at some other similar tunes by Skinner, like the Gladstone, the Bride's Reel etc, you'll see that he often used this kind of structure where the A-part has a 2nd time ending as well as the B-part. This one seems to fit nicely into that pattern. Just be aware, though, that most people who are familiar with this tune will probably have the Fisherstreet setting in their heads, which as I said is double with repeats.
