KISS ME SWEETLY. AKA - "Kiss Her Sweetly (2)." Scottish, Reel. C Major (Bremner, Gow, MacDonald): G Major (Aird, O'Neill). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Gow): AABB (Aird, Bremner, O'Neill). John Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of the tune in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection, printed in London.
