McLEOD'S REEL. Irish, American; Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Morrison): AABB (Ford). "McLeod's Reel" is an interesting juxtaposition of variants of the core tune, "Miss McLeod's Reel (1)/Miss McLeod of Ayr," in two very different genres in the United States. The earlier setting is from James "The Professor" Morrison, well-known for his County Sligo style fiddle playing and numerous 78 RPM recordings, but who also was a music teacher in the Bronx, New York City, who played several instruments, including the accordion. The second setting is from Ira Ford's 1940 book of American dance tunes collected from a number of (usually unnamed) sources available to him in the Midwest. Presumably, his setting of "McLeod's" is from a local dance fiddler, but, since the source is not listed this remains speculative. The versions of the tune, however, are recognizably similar versions of the core Scottish melody.
