Princess Royal

A friend of mine and I play this as a duet with fiddle and harpsichord and it is wonderful - tho it has always been one of my favorite tunes anyway. It's used as the lead tune for a Scottish country dance of the same name, and the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society lists its origin as Gow's Repository, but leaves it undated.

G Major version on MORRIS ON

I much prefer the major key version played by John Kirkpatrick (accordion) on MORRIS ON.
