 Presumably David Muir of the Tim Wright Band.  If so it's odd that
 it didn't make it into the Cavendish Collection (the book of TWB
 tunes, still in print as far as I know).

I must try to find that book. I've looked at it a couple of times but
didn't splash out. I recently picked up a few Tim Wright Band records
which makes it more interesting. Do you know anything about the band,
Jack? Was The Cavendish an Edinburgh establishment? I seem to remember
reading something about it, possibly in a recent book about dancing
history. (Memory's going dud!)

[scots-l] Coire an Lochan

2001-09-07 Thread Nigel Gatherer

Can anyone tell me any more about this tune? I got it from a collection
of ABCs from Silver Apple News, a Cape Breton periodical.

Hold the Press: I've just found it on a Joseph Cormier LP, Old Time
Wedding Reels, where it says it's by D Muir. Does that help?

 It's in Kerr's Thistle Collection, collected and arranged by James
 Hunter.  Great tune!  I always wondered who D. Muir was.
