The Bus stop reel

This tune is on Open House’s first album. It was composed by Anita Anderson. I have posted this tune as a request for ‘comtman’. It is Kevin Burke’s setting as I have not heard Anita Andersons.
Good Luck.

Where I come from, the first bar is usually played |A2 eA dAcB| or |(3AAA eA dAcB|.
