“The Marquis Of Huntley” / “The Bob Wi’ The One Horn” ~ sort of duplicated

Yes, Scotland it is… Over time and publication the reel and strathspey are pretty much the same melody, as is this transcription and Dafydd’s, with some differences. That’s where the “sort of” comes in… It’s good you had the courtesy to give credit…

“George Booker” / “Keeper Hill” / “The Marquis Of Huntley’s Farewell” ~ R: reel

Key signature: A Major

! ~ by name only…and for comparision, two very different melodies…

Fiddler’s Companion ~ Andrew Kuntz ~ another source identical ~
