The tune is called Ross Memorial Hospital - where Phil recovered from a
near fatal car crash. The tune can be found in - The Cunningham Collection
- Volume 1. The House in Rose Valley. Looking in this collection, I see
that the version current locally differs significantly from the one
printed. The same is true of Miss Rowan Davies - another Phil Cunningham
gem (as it were), which sems to have been learnt from a Uillean Piper
before arriving here!
This collection contains my favourite Scottish medium-paced listening tune
- The hut on Staffin island in its original key of D. Great mandolin tune
- eh Nigel?
Another titbit - not a lot of people know that the tune Hamnataing by
Chrsit Stout was written to be played in a set with Hut on Staffin Island.
Try it sometime. I have only heard Kelso High School Scots group play them
like this. Hamnataing - Hut on Staffin Island and a reprise of Hmanataing
in an arrangment by Harris Playfair.
Bye
