'''FAR FROM HOME''' ("Slan Beo Leat" or "Fad Ua Baile"). Irish, English, Shetland, American; Reel. USA; New England, Northwest. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill/1850 & 1001): AABB (Cranitch, Frets Magazine, Miller & Perron, O'Neill/Krassen, Raven). Bayard (1981) collected in Pennsylvania ~~a tune that is a version~~, "~~The~~ Butcher's Row." Many have pointed out the similarity to the popular hornpipe "[[Going to California]]/[[Off to California (1)]]," especially in the 'B' parts which are nearly identical. Nigel Gatherer remarks that "many people think of this tune as a Shetland reel; I've even seen it on CD's as 'Far Frae Home'!" He attributes this to its being included in sets of Shetland tunes by the Boys of the Lough on their albums "Good Friends...Good Music" and "Far From Home."
