 CAMERONIAN REEL [3], THE. AKA and see "The Mother's Delight," "Old Cameronian." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. A popular reel in County Donegal, unrelated to "Cameronian Reel [2]." John Doherty knew it as "Bundle and Go [5]," and his version shifts tonality between major, mixolydian and dorian modes. Paul de Grae finds that the tune appears as "The Mother's Delight" in Breathnach's CRÉ II (No. 240) in the key of D Minor, and as "Malloy's Favorite" in CRÉ III (148) in G, from the playing of Michael Coleman. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh agrees, saying the tune transcribed from Doherty in The Northern Fiddler is not his "Cameronian Reel" (which can be found on Doherty's CD entitled "The Floating Crowbar") but is "The Mother's Delight."  Source for notated version: fiddler John Doherty (1895-1980, County Donegal) [Feldman & O'Doherty].  Printed sources: Feldman & O'Doherty (The Northern Fiddler), 1979; p. 67.  Recorded sources:
