Tune Version: I chose this setting of Ms McLeod’s Reel because it sounds pretty similar to the versions I’ve heard, but a quick glance at TheSession.org shows that there are LOTS of variations, including different keys. Feel free to adjust by ear or look up alternate versions to match your own local musicians.
