History
Michael Coleman's 1934 Decca recording, paired with "Bonnie Kate," made this reel a classic. Its roots are probably Scottish: it is related to "Sleepy Maggie," and Robert Bremner printed an ancestor, "Malcolm's Wedding," in 1757.
Montreal fiddlers liked it too. Joseph Allard used its second part in his "Reel St-Pierre" in 1930, and Jean Carignan recorded it in his "Violon magique" medley, a tribute to Coleman, whom he admired.
