Here's a good version of Niel Gow's Lament for the Death of His Second Wife:
http://www.cranfordpub.com/tunes/Scottish/LamentNielGow2nd.htm
I met Paul Cranford when I was in Cape Breton. Silly me, I didn't recognize this famous publisher because I'm too lazy to read the Publisher info in most books I've bought- lesson learned. Paul's wife ran a tourist venue in NS where my wife was shopping.
