So, did you try it? :-)
I feel Jean's reel like being some kind of "pi�ce de r�sistance" and thus to be played last. But I tried it first followed by JDang and it sounds Ok as well... Would you have the Abc of "Catching Rabbits?"

Toby Rider a �crit:
By toying around with the tune I thought of a "pure malt set" : Hughie Jim Paul/Brenda Stubberts/Jean's reelWhat do you think?That set wouldn't be my style :-) If I were doing a set with Jean's reel and I wanted to change keys from G major to something else. I think I'd start with Jean's reel as the first tune in the set and then play something in D. Going from an A modal tune to a G maj. tune usually works good, but for some reason I feel like Jean's reel wants to be the first reel in a square set. Maybe it's just the character of that particular tune. In my mind I'm trying to hear what I think might go good with it, and I keep hearing "Jenny Dang the Weaver", or that reel I think it's called "Catching Rabbits"? When I get home tonight I'll try them and tell you if I'm just hearing strange things in my head or not :-)
