Description
A traditional 2/4 march sourced from West Virginian fiddler Henry Reed (via Alan Jabbour), and adapted for Scottish-style pipes. This setting is in the key of A-minor, as performed at the 2011 Upper Potomac Piper’s Weekend (see below), recorded on The Piper in the Holler album, and published in ‘An Appalachian Collection’ tune book. Chord symbols included. [NB: This tune requires the use of a C-natural. For chanters that do not have C-natural keys or an extra C-natural soundhole, this note may be produced using ‘forked’ fingering and/or by applying a piece of tuning tape over the majority of the C-soundhole. Also, the grace-notes that appear in this sheet music have since been updated to provide more emphasis on the backbeat, in imitation of old-time fiddling styles.]
