Johnny Wilmot's

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Johnny Wilmot's is a lively 4/4 reel in G major that honors the esteemed Cape Breton fiddler and composer of the same name. Because its exact traditional background and composition date are not definitively documented, players approach the tune with the rhythmic drive and ornamented bowing characteristic of maritime Cape Breton fiddling. The melody is frequently performed in regional sessions and features an uplifting, danceable character typical of the East Coast fiddle repertoire.
