CAPTAIN KENNEDY'S (REEL). AKA and see "Robert Kennedy's Reel." Scottish, Reel or Strathspey. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): AAB (Gow, Shears). Barry Shears identifies his strathspey as a "Cape Breton composition from the MacNeil manuscript," referring to the c. 1915 music manuscript collection of Cape Breton piper Captain Angus J. MacNeill of Gillis Point. However, the composition was printed in Scotland by the Gows a century earlier, set as a reel.
