MY BOY TAMMIE/TAMMY. Scottish, Air or Highland Schottische. D Dorian (Hardings, Johnson): E Dorian/Minor (Kerr). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA (Harding, Johnson): AABB (Kerr). First published in 1791. Bayard states this tune is a variation of "Muirland Willie" (and suggests that it should also be compared with "Kitty Alone"), while Glen asserts "My Boy Tammie" is derivative of that same tune.
