St. Annes Reel
I posted an arrangement of the tune and Andy Volk brought up a great question:
One question I've always had is who was St. Anne and why does she have a reel named after her?
I have heard and played the tune for years and decided to see if I could find out. Here is one history that I found on ibiblio.org (http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/ST..htm). Thought it would be worth sharing.

I messed around with some recording over the weekend and decided to risk posting this arrangement. After all the really great stuff others have posted here I am a little hesitant but here it is. I played around with an arrangement of St. Annes Reel. There are plenty of flaws here (timing, bar rattle, etc). This tune definitely stretched me to get it on Reso. I have played it for years on mandolin. The playing is not perfect but maybe you'll find the arrangement a little interesting.
Hope you like it (or some of it...).
