Professor Blackie
A fine march and variations from James Scott Skinners pen.
Can be preceeded by The Duke Of Fife's Welcome To Deeside

I've always loved playing this. Skinner variously called it a "pastoral-march" and a "melody" indicating, I believe, that it's a listening tune rather than a functional dance tune.

Very good tune for a Gay Gordons.
