Thanks. I got it from Al Murphy and not sure where he got it, but he said it's a Shetland Is tune by Tom Anderson. It's a fun one to play.

Yeah, they also play it in Canada and Northumberland England. Sounds nice in cross A, I will try it. I know it in G

I like it 'cause it sounds old timey even though it's truly not.

But you could say that about Soldiers Joy, Temperance Reel, Too Young to Marry, or the many other Scot's tunes we absorbed. Who cares if it came over here later than the older ones did. " If it sounds Old Timey, than it must be Old Timey "

Art Stamper was one for learning Scottish/Shetland tunes and adapting them for Kentucky fiddling. His favorite fiddler was Alie Bain.

Art was maybe my favorite fiddler.

" Donald Blue ' is another of the many Old Time friendly Shetland tunes. I play it in either FCFC, AEAE or ADAE.
