Congratulations Karina. Angus I found your explanation very interesting. As a non player, I have often wondered why jigs reels etc are played and why. Keep the information coming , it makes good reading.<BR/>Oh I have passed your trip itinerary suggestions onto friends who are visiting Scotland in summer 2009.<BR/><BR/>Cheers SherrylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978415216995472439.post-37942525620042134662009-01-23T19:32:00.000+10:302009-01-23T19:32:00.000+10:30Strip the Willow is played to Jigs.

Why are 6/8 marches for "Strip the Willow". I would have thought that jigs would have fitted better and be easier to play at speed.<BR/><BR/>- PeterTanundapiperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092722535792402480noreply@blogger.com
