OLD CAMERONIAN. AKA and see "Cameronian Reel (3)." Irish, Reel. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Reavy): AA'B (Feldman & O'Doherty). The tune is a distanced version of the modal Scottish reel "Mrs. Grant of Laggan," also known as "Miss Lyall (2)." According to County Cavan/Philadelphia fiddler and composer Ed Reavy's (1898-1988) son Joseph, his father reset this melody in his own style and states that "some of his (Ed's) later compositions can be traced to the fine strain of this old tune." Compare also Michael Coleman's "Malloy's Favorite."

Source for notated version: fiddler John Doherty (1895-1980, County Donegal) [Feldman & O'Doherty].

Printed sources: Feldman & O'Doherty (The Northern Fiddler), 1979; p. 77 (appears as last "Untitled Reel" on the page). Reavy (The Collected Compositions of Ed Reavy), No 74, p. 81.
