In January,I was driving the American old time band Tom, Brad and Alice to gigs around the UK, when Tom Sauber asked me if we'd be going anywhere near Killiekrankie, so I took them there from Glasgow and showed them the leap. Tom told me the reasion he'd wanted to go was that years ago he'd learned a hoedown tune from an old South Texas fiddler that was called Killemakrankie (or maybe kill 'em a cranky). Tom's tune bore no relation at all to the Scottish march tune, but was a fine reel. Anyone know anything?
