BOYLE'S REEL. AKA and see "Salamanca (1)." American, Hornpipe. USA, southwestern Pa. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. This tune is the much better known "Salamanca" with the parts reversed. Bayard's source learned the tune from John O'Boyle, a traveling salesman and fiddler who stayed with the source when he worked his routes through the county. The two would stay up long into the night playing and exchanging tunes.
