The second tune is a variant of a Northumbrian pipe tune called ''Blanchand Races'', a variant I've never encountered previously. The folk process is amazing!

@greeneyedsteamengine Thomas Jefferson went to college at WIlliam and Mary in WIlliamsburg in 1760s, and his music books have lots of Scottish fiddle tunes in them, as well as his own words attesting to how much he liked Scottish fiddle music.

Awesome stuff...My ancestors were Scottish / Irish settlers in the Carolinas. Great to hear some traditional tunes in Colonial Williamsburg! 5 stars

Ay! At Chowning's Tavern, evening gambols. Scottish music was quite popular during the later 1700s....after things settled down from the 1745 rebellion. Once trade with the colonies started flowing through Glasgow, music books from the Glasgow and Edinburgh music publishers started flowing as well.
