What a dork….of course, I meant Cminor. However, Bb and Gm are also good. I’m not so enamoured of F, but that’s one that appears (along with Dm) in Scottish tunes, I’m finding. One that frequently gets omitted, though, is the key of C. However Am shows up more frequently.
I get four sharps (E) is the outer limit for Celtic fiddling. They say, though, that Bill Monroe used to demand that his fiddlers be able to function comfortably in FIVE sharps (B)! Never seen a Celtic tune in THAT key.

As I get older, my dork moments are becoming increasingly frequent !
