ALL ROUND THE ROOM. AKA and see "Lady Douglas's Reel," "Light Horseman's Reel (The)," "Shropshire Reel." Irish, Reel (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. County Leitrim musician Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894) entered the tune into his 1883 music manuscript collection (Book 1, No. 23). Grier was a fiddler and uilleann piper originally from north Longford, but who moved around 1852 to Newpark, Bohey, Gortletteragh, south Leitrim. The first strain is cognate with the second strain of Canon James Goodman's Sporting Days of Easter (4) (The) Musician and researcher Conor Ward finds both strains cognate with Let's be Gay from Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883), which itself is a derivative of the Scottish Duke of Perth The melody appears in publisher James Alexander's Alexander's 50 New Scotch & Irish Reels & Hornpipes (c. 1826) as "Lady Douglas's Reel" attributed to the mysterious "W.J." who is credited with a half-dozen tunes in publisher James Alexander's Alexander's 50 New Scotch & Irish Reels & Hornpipes (c. 1826). The volume was edited by a "professional musician," who may have been "W.J." himself, or perhaps he was merely a contributor.
