I suppose this sort of relates to last week's discussion of 3/2 hornpipes. I abc'd this tune from Robert Petrie's 3rd Collection of Strathspey Reels &c. this week for a friend and thought someone here might be interested in it. The tempo seems weird at first glance but it's a lot of fun to play! I have 2 questions:
1) What does the title mean? I'm guessing Old Age and Young Never Agrees. 2) Does anyone know what sort of dance would have been done to it?
