Re: [scots-l] Sandy Duff
The High Reel? Nice tune which I haven't played for maybe 7 years :-) Are you starting to play more Irish tunes Kate? I'm not playing much of anything, but I'm starting to think about what I would like to play when I get going again. - Kate D.

I've working on improvising over chord changes on the fiddle. Much easier to do that type of thing on the guitar. Although it doesn't seem to be an issue for Angus Grant on all those Shooglenifty recordings..

However, neither Sandy Duff nor Alexander Duff is listed in Charlie Gore's index and I haven't been able to locate any reference to the tune in a Scottish collection. Has anyone else seen it? I'm just curious. Hi Kate. It's not in Gore because it's a pipe tune. Where have you read about The High Reel?

That's so often the explanation when I can't find a tune in Gore. I don't have very many pipe books, but I should have thought to check the pipe indexes on line. It worked out for the better though because now you've sent an ABC of it and I don't have to go bother my friends with the pipe books! The last place I read about it was on one of Grey Larsen's CDs, but he didn't list any source for Sandy Duff. - Kate D.
