MISS FLANNAGAN. AKA and see "Drogheda Lasses (1) (The)," "Hand Me Down the Tackle," "Jolly Hammerman (The)." Irish, Reel (whole or cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Miss Flannagan" was entered by piper and fiddler Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894) of Newpark, Bohey, Gortletteragh, south Co. Leitrim, into Book 2 of his large c. 1883 music manuscript collection. See also "Callan Lasses (1) (The)," which is similar and probably related.
- ↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by a unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
