AKA and see: "Kelly's Reel," "Crawford's Reel (1)," "Honeymoon Reel (1)," "Six Mile Bridge," "Barrack Street Boys (The)," "I Saw Her," "Cheese It," "Shannon Breeze (2)," "Merry Bits of Timber," "British Naggon," "Knit the Pocky," "My Love is in the House (1)," "Brides Away," "Bride to Bed (The)," "Brides to Bed (The)," "Corney is Coming." Irish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Miss Wilson's Reel" is contained in the music manuscript collection of curate and fiddler biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1952), Oriel region, south Ulster[1]. The title was also included in the tune list of piper Philip Goodman (c. 1831-1908), Carrickmacross, Ireland, who is variously described as "the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth", and also recorded as having been from Donaghmoyne, County Monaghan (all of which are places from the same area, and contiguous to the Donnellan's Oriel region).
- ↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by an unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
