BLIND NORA O'NEILL. AKA and see "Blind Norry's," "Highland Plaid (3) (The)," "Lady Loudon." Scottish, Reel and/or Strathspey. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Cole): AA'B (Cranford). The melody was originally composed as "Lady Loudon," by William Gow (1751-1791), eldest son of Scots fiddler-composer Niel Gow, and the leader of the Edinburgh Assembly Orchestra until his death at age 40. It is a frequently recorded tune by Cape Breton fiddlers, played as both a reel and strathspey, albeit mostly under the "Blind Nora" (or variants) title, indicating that it came to the island via the popular Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883), disseminated by sight-reading fiddlers. Breandan Breathnach/Jackie Small (CRE V) believe the Irish "Donegal Traveler (The)" (Donegal Rambler) is related to this tune.
