MissouriMud The Hangman's Reel (50) RE: The Hangman's Reel 14 Sep 07

Interesting - in reviewing the Fiddlers Companion entry on this tune, the 4 part tune with which I am familiar (and often accompany on guitar) from the more recent recordings of Kirk Sutphin and John McCutcheon (listed as Hangmans Reel [1]) is noted to be most likely a Virginia derivitave of the French Candadian tune - listed as "The Hanged Man's Reel". Obviously I need to hear the "reel" thing to see how far the derivitive has strayed.
