MacFarlane’s Rant

This tune is in D not A mix.

Or E minor even?

MacFarlane’s Rant

Definitely D major. Also the first two e’s in the second bar of the second part should actually be f’s.

MacFarlane’s Rant, X:2

A friend of mine attended a workshop near Boston earlier this year and learned a few tunes from Ed Pearlman. This was his version of this great little reel.

He plays it after Captain Horne:
