Alex Doig was a drummer who played with Jim MacLeod’s Dance Band in the 1970s. I don’t know who composed this tune, but I would guess that it was either Doig himself, or MacLeod’s accordionist Tommy Ford. The same composer wrote the following, which the Jim MacLeod band recorded after “Alex Doig’s” in 1977.
