SCOTT'S FAVORITE. AKA and see "Duke of Gordon's Rant (The)," American, Reel (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody, a distanced American variant of the Scottish “Duke of Gordon's Rant (The),” was published in George P. Knauff’s Virginia Reels, vol. III (Baltimore, 1839, No. 8, p. 4).
