I’ve been playing #AuldTunes all my days but recently I’ve been paying more attention to their provenance and, well, some of them have been around for a long time. Here’s the earliest known version of The Rock and the Wee Pickle Tow, published as The Scottish March in Playford’s Musick’s Hand-Maid from 1663. (I’ve ignored the weird extra bar in the 2nd part). #ScottishMusic #TraditionalMusic #Bagpipes #BorderPipes
