JOHNNY/JOHNNIE LAD. Scottish, Reel. D Minor (Christie): E Minor (Dunn & Graham, Köhler, Lowe, Milne, Stewart-Robertson). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Dunn & Graham, Lowe): AAB (Athole, Christie, Kerr): AABB (Honeyman, Kohler, Milne). Finlay Dunn and George Farquhar Graham, who published the tune as an untitled pipe reel around 1830, remarked:
This Reel does famously for the Highland way of dancing. It must appear most droll to a stranger. The right foot is first put down, the left drawn upon a level with it, the right foot advanced again, and a kind of bob or cursey for the fourth movement, this is not done smoothly but thumped rough telling every step, the setting is the same, perhaps with the addition of a few side kicks to finish, just as you or I would finish with a "Jetté Assemblee." But the lads brogue it so heartily, and maidens trip it neatly, that it is a question whether it is not more animated than the half sailing, half sleeping, and half walking of the higher classes.
