AKA and see "[[Biodag Air Mac Thòmais]]," "[[Canty Body]]/Brody," "[[Thomas' Son Wears a Dirk]]." Scottish, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. John Glen finds the piece first published in Angus Cumming's 1782 collection (No. 21, p. 8), although as "[[Canty Body]]" it appears in Alexander McGlashan's collection of around the same time. Cumming (c. 1750-c. 1800) was from a long line of Speyside musicians. However, as William Lamb<ref>William Lamb, "Reeling in the Strathspey: The Origins of Scotland's National Music", '''Scottish Studies''', Vol. 36, pp 66-102, Jun 2013. </ref> points out, the word ''strathspey'' only appears in the title of his collection, and not with any of the tunes themselves; "the tunes were simply all 'Old Highland reels' to him." The boundary between what we think of as reels versus the syncopated strathspey was much more permeable to Cumming. Cumming's alternate title, "[[Biodag Air Mac Thòmais]]," or 'Thomas's son wears a dirk', is a Gaelic dance song that was once distributed throughout the Gàidhealtachd. | ||
