BUNKER HILL [2] (Cnoc Bunceir). Irish, Reel. D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (Flaherty, O'Neill): AABBCC (Taylor/Tweed). O'Neill (Irish Folk Music, a Fascinating Hobby, p. 98) notes that Bunker Hill was the collector, musician and priest Dr. Henebry's address "in or near the city of Waterford, Ireland". Paul de Grae believes there is a connection with the 18th century battle near Boston harbor, however, as Henebry was at one time a professor of Gaelic at Washington D.C.'s Georgetown University, "and doubtless was an admirer of the American Revolution." The 'A' part is similar to the 'A' part of version #2.
