"Gan Ainm" ~ I don't think so ~ highland schottische/fling

~ and I'm damned sure this is here already, maybe even by my hand. I'm sure there's a name but it isn't coming. I only tried two keys, G & A, but a lot of variations on several measures, no luck... I will be happy if someone finds it, or at least gives it a name. I have come across this one in numerous old tomes but learned it ages back. I was reminded of it and went looking for variations and discovered, it seems, that it might not be here... Let me know if you know...

I think I'll send emails to a knowledgeable few... ;-)

Thanks LongNote, much appreciated... I'll let dear Jeremy know it's a duplication... I knew it was an old standard but my brain cells are doing a lot of misfiring lately, having lost some sleep... :-/

# Posted on July 21st 2008 by ceolachan

Hmmm... As a reel, so, not really a duplication... I'll add the link from there to here... A lot of these highland schottisches/flings ended up doing later duty as single reels... At least now I can chase up other possible connections. I'm sure it is in the major collections, like the Athole / Skye....

Alternate titles ~

That told me more, I'd added most of those... I said it was 'old' and familiar... I suppose this transcription might be different enough to allow to remain? Time will tell.
