KISS HER SWEETLY [2]. English; Reel and Quick Step. C Major (Buttery, Vickers): D Major (Rook). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Kiss Her Sweetly [2]" was entered into a few musicians' manuscript collections, beginning with Northumbrian musician William Vickers who included it in his large 1770 compilation. It can also be found identified as a Quick Step in the music manuscript collection of John Buttery (1784-1854), who joined the 34th Regiment in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England, in 1797 and served as a fifer until discharged in 1814. Cumbrian musician John Rook included "Kiss Her Sweetly" in his large 1840 music manuscript collection (p. 16), with parts reversed from those previously cited and in the key of 'D'.
