BEWARE OF THE RIPPLES. AKA and see "Logie of Buchan (1)," "Tak tent to the ripples gudeman." Scottish, Slow Air (whole time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEEFFGGHIIJJ. An air and companion jig with variations, from James Oswald's Caledonian Pocket Companion, Book 11 (1760). Oswald does not label his compositions, but this is likely an older air to which Oswald composed variation sets. See note for "Logie of Buchan (1)" for discussion of tune and song.
