MISS TAYLOR'S (REEL) [3]. English, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Unrelated to “Miss Taylor's Reel--Keith.” The melody appears in the music manuscript copybook of fiddler John Burks, dated 1821. Unfortunately nothing is known of Burks, although the volume has an English provenance. The frontispiece shows the signature of many subsequent hands, although the notation seems to be in one hand only.
