DAVE "NORMAWAY" MACDONALD'S WEDDING REEL. Canadian, Reel (cut time). Canada, Cape Breton. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Inverness, Cape Breton, fiddler Jerry Holland (1955-2009) for the wedding of inn-keeper MacDonald, who runs a venue for Cape Breton music at his establishment, the Normaway.

The first strain is very similar to one of Irish fiddler Paddy Kelly's reels (Kelly did not usually name his tunes).
