I have a sheet music version of this which claims
that "F Stanley" is the composer. I
also have a 78rpm disc by James Brown, the
Edinburgh melodeon player, from 1911 of a track
called "Little Pet (Caledonian Polka)" which is
exactly the same tune. Recordings:
Scottish Fiddlers, Welcome to Edinburgh (1976);
Recordings: Scottish Fiddle Orchestra, Prom (1980) |
