Ladyjean: the Uncle Joe Uncle Joe tune is one of the all time super-successful tunes(Soldiers Joy and the Sailors hornpipe come into the same category). It seems to have started life as a Scottish tune ""Miss McLeod of Raasay", and became known throughout Britian(played in A) and Ireland(played in G, and occasionally A in north). Generally known as Miss McLeod's Reel, nowadays, and "Hop High ladies" and a few other tthings in America. A great tune, and good for sessions with people you dont know, as everybody knows it.
