CAMSTRONNAN'S RANT. AKA - "Camstroden's Rant." AKA and see "Card and Spin," "Jack in the West," "Mr. McPhadden's Favorite." Scottish, Country Dance Tune (9/8 time). D Mixolydian/Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody (with the spelling used in the main title above) appears in David Young's Drummond Castle Manuscript (1734, also called the Duke of Perth ms.), in the possession of the Earl of Ancaster at Drummond Castle. It is inscribed "A Collection of Country Dances written for the use of his Grace the Duke of Perth by Dav. Young, 1734." Other printings of the tune (as "Camstroden's Rant") can be found in John Johnson's A Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol 3 (1744) and John Walsh's Fourth Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (1747). Dancing master Thomas Wilson included it in his Companion to the Ball Room (London, 1816), calling it "Old Irish."
