 CAMERONIAN REEL [1], THE (Cor Cameronac). AKA and see "Aisling Uí Chiardha," "Carey's Reel," "Carey's Dream," "Roger's Fancy." Irish (Scottish?), Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cole, O'Neill/1915 & 1001): AAB (O'Neill/Krassen): AABB (Taylor): AA'BB' (Harker/Rafferty): ABC (Mitchell). David Taylor (1992) points out that the second part has changed since O'Neill (1001 Gems) was first published and that there are several settings of this tune in common currency. Some superficial similarity to "Rolling on the Ryegrass."
