MARTIN WYNNE'S NO. 2. AKA and see "Burying Poteen (The)," "Joan Coyne's." Irish, Reel. B Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Flaherty): AABB (most versions). Composed by fiddler Martin Wynne (1916-1998), originally from Bunninadden, County Sligo. Wynne emigrated to the Bronx, New York, in 1948, but not before spending some time in England, where he played in various céilí bands, most notably the Kilburn with Paddy Taylor (flute) and Joe O'Dowd (fiddle). The title "Joan Coyne's" for the tune comes from New Jersey accordion player Luke O'Malley, who got the tune from another of John McGrath's (1900-1955) students, fiddler Joan Coyne. At the time no one knew the correct title. Belfast fiddler Seán Maguire recorded it under the title "Burying Poteen (The)."
