You'll find it here, Hilary:

BALLAD OF SAINT ANNE'S REEL

A great song it is, especially when the breaks are the actual St.Anne's Reel done on the fiddle. Super!

Wonderful version by the Clancy Brothers.

But, if anybody asks for "The Mallard of St. Anne's' Reel", DUCK!

Ballard is district in the northwest part of Seattle, where lots of Swedish and Norwegian shops and boutiques (some of which do a huge business in lutefisk and lefse during the Christmas holidays). Many of these shops overlook Bergen Square. Not far away is Shilshole Bay, where a statue of Leif Erikson gazes out over Puget Sound.

Is this a Scandinavian song?

Hi Don,

Queen Anne Hill is just across (SE) from Ballard, so maybe it's a combination of both.

Cheers, S. in Seattle

....not to be confused with "Beautiful downtown Wallingford, Gateway to Ballard!" (I hear Sandy and the Canotes are no longer on the air...too bad. But I did get to see Greg and Jere at the uke festival last November.)

Aloha,
