Back to Pickle ait-meal (A)
PICKLE AIT-MEAL, A. Scottish, Air (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). The melody was composed by Edinburgh violinist Robert 'Red Rob' Mackintosh (c. 1745-1807) and set to lyrics by Andrew Shirrefs (1762-1807, who also wrote the pastoral comedy, Jamie and Bess). He was a well-known musician in Edinburgh up until 1802, when he left Scotland to live in London. Emmerson (1971) notes that it was said that Mackintosh "was of an irascible disposition and readily gave offense to other members of (his) orchestra."
