I would just like to thank list members for helping with what is obviously a
highly obscure tune. It's no wonder I was having trouble finding out
anything about it.

As a classical piano teacher, I teach my students to breathe at the end
of phrases and cadence points. It helps if they actually take a breath
at these places. When I play with my string partner, we also discuss
where the breathing spots are. It helps the music flow better IMHO.

Being myself a fiddler, I think some fiddlers should be given
indications of where to *slow down* :-)

friends, no luck. I know it as the 'Earl of Jura', played by Lloyd
MacDonald on a Canadian 'Atlantic Fiddles' compilation cd. If anyone knows
