[Mandolin1944]

Nicely fiddled thanks! Tune really draws on in eh? I am wondering is this tune generally done in Am or Dm? I've see presentations of both I think.

[fiddle4u]

@Mandolin1944 -- Both I think !

We use play it once starting A on the G string, then move across starting E on the D string

for the second time around just for effect !

[TheThreeWeavers]

I'm pretty sure this is Scottish. I might be wrong but it strikes me as odd to have an Irish reel for a Scottish folktale.

[fiddle4u]

@TheThreeWeavers

Might be a Scottish Folk-tale fair enough - But the Tune was wrote by Davey Arthur -- Irish Musician... But Thank's..

jim,,,

[fiddle4u]

@TheThreeWeavers

If you Google his Name --

The Fureys & Davey Arthur - Irish folk music - Dara Records
