There’s a very narrow line between rearrangement and composition. This is a march, I think, based on the air of The homes of Donegal. It was just something that came into my head, and then I realised that what I was playing was a version of this air in march time. In order to distinguish it from the air, and being a man for a pun, I decided to call it The Watsons of Donegal.
