It's the Cape Breton version of the Irish reel "Toss the Feathers". It is likely that Johnny M is responsible for this setting of the tune. He frequently played these first three reels in this sequence ... the following two being "Mary McMahon" and "The Old Copperplate".
Hey! Is Sp1kers' version a copy of this? To me, it doesn't matter. It's even better. This is the best video yet of John Morris' fiddle playing, outside of those we see of him with the Rankin Family; the A/V quality is first rate for a video of this vintage. Thank you so much for this. It's wonderful!
John Morris was and still is one of the greatest. What a fine player and inspiration
He is one the best I've heard so far. What a big talent he has!
God bless John Morris! What talent!
