GOOD LUCK. Scottish, Reel (cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by fiddler-composer biography:John French (1752-1803). It appears in his A Collection of Strathspeys, Reels &c. (c. 1801), dedicated to Mrs. Boswell of Auchinleck, and published by Gow & Shepherd, âfor behoof of Mr. Frenchâs widow and children.â The phrase may indicate that French was incapacitated, or perhaps dead, in which case either the dates of publication of the dates of his death are faulty.
