CHARLIE HARDIE. Scottish, Reel. E Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by the great Scottish fiddler and composer J. Scott Skinner (1843-1927) for violinist Charles Hardie (1849-1893), 'the Methlick Wonder', a member of the famous Scottish family fiddling dynasty (which included his father, William Hardie).
