Bruce O. normally I like reading your postings, they have a lot of good informationin them but now I'm afraid you've made me laugh. You sound like someone talking into a dead phone."Hello..Can you hear me? Are you there?"

I'll see if this goes to the top now.

The original version of "Annie Laurie" and the short history of C. K. Sharpe (historian who found the song, and collected others) of her and the young man who wrote the song are first in the Scarce Songs 2 file on my website: www.erols.com/olsonw

Nigel Gatherer's Scottish tunes don't seem to be in the web-wide ABC index. Also, I can't get his direct URL to work. What does work is finding 'The Scottish Music Pages' with a search engine, and clicking from there.

For songs or instrumentals? Some tunes are both song and dance tunes. ABCs of many can be found via the webside ABC index on the ABC homepage. I have some of my favorites as ABCs (some with songs) in the S1, S2 and T1 files on my website. I have some other favorites that are used for more common songs that aren't there. Murray on Saltsping is the best near-regular here to answer that, really. 'Leslie Braes', 1994, except for "Johnnie Cope" (second half his) are his own compositions.

It's a long term project of mine to arrange Scottish tunes for fingerstyle guitar. My interest arises largely from the fact that my mother was from Scotland (Eyemouth), although I'm no expert on Scottish music. I'm curious to know what tunes mudcatters would pick to go on a list of favorite Scottish tunes (and what versions if possible). Thanks in advance.
