The Holm Band Tune is in the last track of Jennifer & Hazel Wrigley's album
"Mither o' the Sea".
Jennifer said that she knew nothing about it except that the Holm Band
played it. Once, at a concert a man came up saying that he had belonged to
the Holm Band, but he, too, knew nothing about its origins. Does anyone?
The other piece on that track, "R. Aim's Compliments to J. Cragie" is also
very nice, but the simple four note accompaniment makes special.
