DRUNKEN FRIDAY. Scottish, Reel. D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of the tune in print in Neil Stewart's 1761 collection (p. 38). It also appears in Kirkmichael, Perthshire, fiddler and composer Robert Petrie's 2nd Collection of Strathspey Reels and Country Dances, 1796, with the note "An auld Highland Reel." Petrie's volume was dedicated to his patron and employer, Mrs. Garden of Troup. However, the earliest printing appears to be in London publisher David Rutherford's Compleat Collection of 200 country Dances, vol.2" (1760, p. 97).
