T:ED MCMAHON'S FANCY (reel)
C:ABC/arr.BB
S:R.Hughes < McMahon
N:The book version has no key signature, which I think is a
"scribal error" since the tune sounds very strange in C major/
D dorian. I have moved it into D major. (If you want to hear how
the book version sounds, replace K:D with K:Ddor.)
N:Since this is a "single" reel, I have repeated the parts for the
purposes of the sound file.
