Annotation:Captain Locker

 CAPTAIN LOCKER. Irish, Reel. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). From the playing of the Reilly family of Drumreilly, County Leitrim. A transcription of the melody is in the Grier Manuscript, a c. 1883 collection of Leitrim tunes collected by fiddler and uilleann piper Stephen Grier. However, the tune is perhaps Scottish publisher Robert Bremner's "Captain Lockhart of the Tartar."  Source for notated version:  Printed sources:  Recorded sources: Drumlin Records BMNCD2, Brian McNamara - "Fort of the Jewels" (2004).
