I've just received confirmation that Tam Reid died last Thursday. The
funeral is on Wednesday, but I don't have any other details. He was one of
the great traditional singers of North East Scotland.

If you are still looking for tunes that set well with Jean's Reel...
My current preference is a set consisting of Charlie Lennon's air "The
Parting" followed by Sheehan's and then Jean's Reel.
I haven't yet found any good D(mix), D(dor) or D(min) tunes that fit
together

Yes and No.
The Sheehan's I know I learned in Cape Breton. It is basically the same as
what you found but I don't care for the B part in the version below. The
Parting you found in not the tune I use. The one I was taught is available
from Paul Cranford's site. I'll chase them down and post them h

Hey, I'd like to see that song also. I don't think anyone will object if
you post it to the list. If they don't want to read it, they can just
delete it.

Okay here's a set question. The problem here is too many choices, as
opposed to not enough choices. What do you guys play after Maggie
Cameron? I'm looking for a reel in A.
This is Maggie Cameron:
