Ode to Ornamentation

I was playing around with the fiddler's fakebook and found a neat Scottish ditty. I really like the time signature 6/8 (I think my heart beats to that rhythm). Take a listen:

it is lovely - and you are indeed awesome. But I gotta say, you is one classical fiddler player:)

Sugar, pardon my ignorance but what is a fiddler's fakebook?

Seriously fine. Has a nifty multi-meter feel. I would love to hear a comparison playoff between you and The Rev.
6/8 always gets m'feet dancing but the unusual dotted note placements in the rhythm give an almost hicup feeling. Very interesting nonetheless.
