A few years
back I composed the above tune. When I tried to write
it down I realized it was actually in 3/2 time so we
called it The Slip Reel (slip jigs are counted
in threes so this seemed to be a logical name. My
friend Otis composed The Slippery Eel as a
companion tune. To me it has a bit of an Appalachian
feel to it. We usually play them together (sometimes
mixed in a medley with 'normal' reels).
For variation
in the A part you might start with a lower octave A
note (quarter note)
