'''BAKER, THE'''. Scottish (originally), Canadian, Irish; Reel. Canada, Cape Breton. A Major. Standard tuning. AA'B (Skinner); AABB (Cranford/Fitzgerlad). Written by Scottish fiddling and composing giant J. Scott Skinner (1841-1927) for George Gordon. The tune has some currency in Irish circles, having been recorded by fiddlers Andy McGann and Paddy Reynolds, and Sean Keane. Donegal fiddler John Doherty had a version (see Larry Sanger's "Gan Ainm" transcriptions below) that Nigel Gatherer identifies as an amalgam of two Skinner tunes, "The Baker" and "The 10£ Fiddle." Some similarities to the Irish "Contradiction Reel."

Z:played it twice through, so this is more or less what he played.  The
Z:second and fourth parts below are identical; it might just be a two-part
Z:reel with the second time through being a variation, but it sounds good
Z:as a four-part reel too.  Yes, he played the second and fourth parts
