Couldn't have been before 1731, as Jack was yet to dance his way to world stardom...
I'm very impressed the tune - or at least the new title - spread so wide, so quickly. Or was he already famous when still a live teenager?

Who cares? Well, I care enough to note them as they are the labels attached to the versions referred to, but other than that, I'd rather discuss the tune. And more than that, I'd rather play it. It was the one that got me hooked, and Chris Ormston and Anthony Robb were there in the room in Rothbury when it happened. 1985, I think, or was it 1733? Wull Allan would have been around, but Jamie was still a twinkle in his Dad's eye. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
