LADY ANN STEWART'S STRATHSPEY. Scottish, Strathspey. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The melody was entered into the music manuscript collection of fifer or fiddler John Fife (as "Lady Ann Steuart"), who began compiling his tunes around 1780, and added to his manuscript for the next twenty-four years. Fife was perhaps from Perthshire, although entries in his ms. indicate he may also have made entries at sea; there are references to battles in Caribbean and the Mediterranean.
