Don't have a name for the strathspey but the reel is J Scott Skinner's tune the Spey in Spate. The strathspey sounds a bit like another JSS tune, Little John's Hame, or perhaps another oldie, Stirling Castle. Very often you hear a tune which is in ways a variant of another tune, sometimes it can be difficult to avoid playing part of the other tune if they're too similar in construction.

Thanks so much for these clips of John, I often tell people the fascinating story of his out-of-control composition, which I read about in the liner notes of one of the Rounder compilation CDs of Cape Breton fiddling put together by Mark Wilson. John's music was grand to hear as well, fiddling of all sorts can be fascinating stuff to hear, and these old timers had heaps of character in their music too.

He did leave them all to Ian, who also is an extremely talented fiddle player. Although i had only met uncle John a few times he always had his fiddle and always had everyone's feet tapping! R.I.P John

@phiddleguy I heard that he left them all to his cousin Ian MacDougall an excellent fiddler and long time student of John's. Rumor has it that there are over 40,000 compositions.
