Miss McDonald

A 4-part reel that's not heard that often. I can't remember where it came from, but it has been recorded by "Boys Of The Lough". McDonald would suggest Scottish origin, but that's pure speculation on my part.

I've heard this played occasionally in sessions. A fine tune with a driving rhythm that deserves more exposure.
