Does anyone know if any of Robert Petrie's collections have been reprinted
or are available online?  I recently heard a set of jigs by him that make me
want to find more of his work, but a net search doesn't turn up much.
Here's the jig that piqued my interest:

X:1
T:Miss Rattray of Dalrullzian
C:Robert Petrie
S:Petrie's Collection of Strathspey Reels and Country Dances &c., 1790
Z:Steve Wyrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/25/03
N:transcribed from Elke Baker, Glenelg
K:G
M:6/8
L:1/8

On another note, I have a friend who is hunting tunes that may have some
connection with the Rattray surname in preparation for a family gathering
next year.  So far I have Miss Rattray's Reel, from the Skye Collection and
others, and the above tune.  Anyone know of any others?  A strathspey would
be nice! Thanks. -Steve
