Thanks to Nigel Gatherer for his definition of "Slow Session Tunes"
What a great idea. Were you near by I would request an invitation to
join in. I must admit though that I would be unfamiliar with mnay of the
tunes you listed. I have not spent much time on lists which is a fault I
should correct. Here are a few favourites which come to mind:
>From Marshall; "The Farewell", "Huntley's Lodge", [not to be confused
with a different tune with the same name by Nathaniel Gow], both slow
airs, "Miss Gordon's Strathspey", " Miss Susan Gordon's Reel"
>From Skinner: "The Music of Spey", "The Rosebud of Allenvale" , Airs,
"Bonnie Annie Anderson", strathspey, Carnie's Canter [Sp?], "The Spey in
Spate", Reels
>From Peter Milne; "The Countess of Crawford" Air.
I hope one or more of these tunes will be of interest to you and your
"Session" people.
