Opps.. I was thinking of the wrong tune.. I somehow morphed the tune "The Girls at Martinfield", written by Phil Cunningham (another famous Scottish accordion player) with Jean's Reel in my mind.. Both tunes written by accordion players, and both of which that appear on sets on Natalie's "Fit As a Fiddle" album. The Phil Cunningham tune requires some shifting positions on the neck.
