MRS. ANDREW KIDD. Scottish, Solo Strathspey (whole time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Mrs. Andrew Kidd" was composed by Aberdeenshire fiddler-composer and Scottish dancing master wikipedia:James_Scott_Skinner (1843-1927). Mrs. Kidd was one of Skinner's accompanists. Skinner's footnote in his Miller o' Hirn (1881) states that his compositions "Mary Walker" and "Mrs. Andrew Kidd" "...please me well for my concerts as they have nothing of the 'doodle' in them. They were composed in Peterhead in April, 1876, and remarkably well played on the piano by Mrs. Kidd."
