I always use Mairi's Wedding in A. Works out well on the fiddle starting on the E on the D string. It's hexatonic and repetitive and most people have heard it. It has "do re mi" in it. Everybody always gets it, even little kids, which I haven't found with many other tunes. - Kate -- http://www.DunGreenMusic.com Halifax, Nova Scotia Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
