Well here's the version I posted to the list in October. I transcribed this
from the San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers 6/97 newsletter; it comes from the
playing of Buddy MacMaster, according to the notes. It's the same as
Natalie MacMaster's version on "My Roots are Showing" except that hers is in
Gm rather than Am, and the chords are probably different, I haven't checked.
In the liner notes Natalie says "This classic 6-part G minor setting of
'Johnnie Cope' was first recorded on a 78 disc by Margaree fiddler Angus
Allan Gillis." -Steve
