Back to Breeks are Loose and the Button's Awa' (The)


BREEKS ARE LOOSE AND THE BUTTON'S AWA'. AKA and see "All Alive (1)," "Northumberland Lady." Scottish, Jig (12/8 time). G Minor ('A' part) & G Dorian ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Despite similarities to the Northumbrian jig "Breeches Loose (2)," they appear dissimilar enough to be separate tunes.
