WALKER'S FAVOURITE. Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune was composed by James Henderson and included in Dysart, Fife, Scotland, fiddler-composer, musician and music teacher biography:James Walker's (1771-1840) first collection of c. 1795. Henderson may possibly have been a student of Walker's.
