COTTENWOOD REEL. AKA- "Moreley's Reel." Old-Time, Breakdown; Canadian, Reel. USA, Missouri. Canada, Cape Breton. D Major ('A' & 'B' parts) & G Major ('C' part). Standard or ADae tuning (fiddle). AA'BCC (Dunlay & Greenberg/Laam): AABBCC (Dunley and Reich): AA'BBCC' (Phillips). The melody originated in American tradition, migrating in the reverse direction via New England to Cape Breton. It was recorded in 1930 by the Laam's Happy Hayseeds, a group whose members originally came from the rural town of John Day, Oregon, consisting of brothers Ivan Laam (fiddle) and Fred Laam (banjo), joined by Fred's son, Logan Laam (guitar), -- the group began performing in the 1920s, and traveled widely on the West Coast before their sole recording session for Victor Records. "Cottonwood Reel" may possibly have been learned by Hayseed's fiddler Ivan Laam from his German-born fiddling father, Abe, according to Dunlay & Greenberg (1996). The tune is associated on Cape Breton with Angus Chisholm, however, Winston Fitzgerald stated to Paul Cranford that he himself taught it to Chisholm. As Dunley and Reich point out, internal key changes in tunes are uncharacteristic of Scottish music, the style most Cape Breton tunes are composed in.
