WHISTLING MIKE (Micil/Miceal an Feadaire). Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Bayard (1981) thinks the tune generally related to Joyce's "Ladies dressed in their garments so green (The)" and "Dusinberry March (The)," although the resemblance seems faint. Also see "Tin Ware Lass (The)" and "Pewter Mug." The first strain is similar to that of "Fair and Forty." See also “Kingstown Hornpipe.”
