> ...Whinham's Reel -- anybody got the ABCs for that?
Do you know any more about it, Janice? Is it Northumbrian?

I don't have abc software but I do have a copy of "Remember Me" - a
collection of the music of Robert Whinham by Graham Dixon published in 1995.
Whinham's Reel is in there on page 17. This is a really nice collection of
tunes by an itinerant Northumbrian fiddle and dancing master who lived
between 1814 and 1893. His last days were spent in Morpeth workhouse where
the only known photograph of him was taken, and where he was registered as a
"teacher of music in Morpeth" [in Northumbria]. The tune is also listed as
being in the "Northumbrian Pipers' Tune Book" published in 1970.
Cheers
