BONNIE ANNIE [3]. AKA and see "Bonny Ann," "Lethen's Reel," "Flip McGilder's Reel," "Follow Me Down to Carlow (1), "Follow Me Down to Carlow (2)" (jig version), "Crooked Reel(The)" (An Ríl Cam), "Miss Murphy (2)." Scottish, Reel. A Minor or A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): AAB (most versions). One of the more famous compositions by Edinburgh music teacher Daniel (or sometimes, Donald) Dow (1732-83), originally of Kirkmichael, Perthshire, who first published it about 1775 or 1776 (the earliest it appears in print, according to John Glen {1891}). It also appears in Angus Cummings 1782 work Collection of Strathspeys or Old Highland Reels. In the opinion of Mr. Troup of Ballater (as cited by David Baptie in Musical Scotland, Past and Present, 1894, p. 46) "Bonnie Annie" is among the dozen or so of Dow's best compositions. See also Irish versions under this and alternate titles, although the second strain tends to vary (sometimes widely) in this tune family.
