This is a really crackin’ Gordon Duncan tune. Transcription based on Ross Ainslie’s and Jarleth Henderson’s *Partners in Crime* album.

Great tune….but…..

Hasn’t this tune got 3 parts, and you’ve only posted first and second ? I’m sure Ross and Jarlath played all 3.

Oops

I forgot to paste in the third part. I’ll fix that ASAP.

Thanks DonaldK for the recent addition of the above new transcription. It has worked well for me.

Re: Jock Brown’s 70th

Good tune.
One which gets “interpreted” differently in both sessions and “performances” depending on the player(s). My version is quite basic and not dissimilar to that of Rachel’s above although I don’t always use the “tie notes” in the last part and will vary things depending on how I feel. Also on which instrument I’m using.
I can find this tune tricky to join in with during a session sometimes but there are one or two like that. 🙂
Out of curiosity, I’ve just been checking out a few different recordings and You Tube clips. There’s quite a variety of “interpretations” out there.
