*Notes: Peter Macfarlane provides this background information: “[Gilderoy] is variously described as coming from Northumberland (northeastern England) and the Borders of Scotland. These are adjacent to each other, and the traditions do not necessarily respect an imaginary line on a map. Note that many of the G notes are G# (not necessarily what you might expect in Am).”
