MISS JESSIE SMITH. Scottish, Strathspey. The tune appears in Joseph Lowe’s mid-19th century collection. The tune is a Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, standard among fiddlers, and is commonly heard in Scottish sessions as well. Lowe (1797-1847), from Marykirk, was a musician and dancing master, the son of fiddler-composer John Lowe ("Rachel Rae").
