 DAVY'S REEL. AKA and see "Ownie Davis' Reel." Irish, Reel. D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Philippe Varlet says the tune was recorded by John McGreevy in 1974, playing with Seamus Cooley, on which it is called "Ownie Davy's," from his source for the tune, Owen Davy. It also appears in Larry McCullough's tin whistle book, says Philippe, and that it has been lately in the repertoire of northern Irish fiddlers such as Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh.  Source for notated version: Sean Ryan (County Offaly) [Mulvihill].  Printed sources: Mulvihill (1st Collection), 1986; No. 193, p. 52.
