I am fascinated by the tune Two-fifty to Vigo on the Lunasa album
Redwood. In researching this tune, I find that it was written by Angus R
Grant. Couldn't find the tune, though. Does anyone know where I could find
this tune? Thanks.

Nigel,
That's one of my favorite albums (remember those - the big black things
made of vinyl?). I looked on the liner notes and don't see the reel listed
but I played the ABC you sent and I definitely remember it. Which track is
it part of? I can't listen to my album right now because I am off

Good luck, Barb. Which album is it on? D'you want some help?

It's
Veda,
I found a lot of Skye Reels in the Patrick McDonald A Collection of
Highland Vocal Airs, page 37 (no index). Page is titled Weftern
Ifle Dances. There are 4 Skye Dances and 2 Harris Dances. I don't have
the CD you are talking about so I don't know which one it might be.
Several of them
Steve,
Those are the Skye Dances in the Patrick McDonald Collection, p. 37, number
27 and 28 respectively. There are 2 other Skye Dances, 2 Western Isle
Dances, and 2 Harris Dances also on that page. I can't write ABC myself, or
I would translate them for you.
