Hi,
So, did you try it? :-)

I did go to that web site. There's no mention of Jeans Reel anywhere.
You're right :) But it does tell you about MacLeod if you don't know of
him. He would feature on any shortlist of Scots music greats of the 20th

when played by a fiddler or on a button accordion. Do you know of
recordings of this tune?

Go to http://www.bobbymacleod.co.uk and read all about him.
He's one of the greats of trad Scottish music, and Jean's Reel is one of his
best known tunes. It's much-recorded so a
Natalie MacMaster recorded it on Fit As A Fiddle. Bobby MacLeod was a
