| Item Description | The second part of Mill o' Tifty's Annie (see JSS0523). The other tunes are William Christie of Monquhitter's own published compositions (see JSS0520, JSS0521, and others above. In common with Scott Skinner and others, Christie named many tunes after titled persons, or landowners, such as Lady Dunbar. Christie may have taught dancing to these individuals, or their children, or servants. By the 'Old' jig 'Ha'd the Cradle Rockin', Aberdeen fiddle music expert J. Murdoch Henderson (1902-1972), wrote '_Ja[me]s Paterson's MS' perhaps to compare this version with one there (the Paterson MS is also in Aberdeen University library). |
