8 The Earl of Hyndford (4:27)

The Earl of Hyndford, The Caledonian Reel, A Bright May Morning

Cape Breton piano player Barbara Magone told me that she recorded The Earl of Hyndford at the age of 18. I spent many years just listening to her driving style on the recording and eventually, while on a visit to Nova Scotia in 1999, Paul Cranford provided me with the notation for the tune.
The Caledonian Reel can be found in a local collection " The Rose in the Gap" Dance Music of Oriel which I published in 2017. The last tune is one that I wrote out for my mother Rose in the early 1970's and was commonly played at that time.
