PEELER'S CAP [2], THE. AKA and see "Black Water Thame (The)," "Boy in the Gap (3)," "Boys of the Lake (2)," "Collin's Reel (1)," "Corkonian," "Devil's in Dublin (1) (The)," "Emminence Breakdown," "Flags of Dublin (2) (The)," "Ike Forrester's Reel (1)," "Merry Blacksmith (The)," "Mist on the Loch," "Paddy on the Railroad," "Policeman's Cap." Irish, Reel (whole or cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. "Peeler's Cap [2]" can be found in the music manuscript collections of County Leitrim musician biography:Stephen Grier (1883), and fiddler and curate biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan[1] (Oriel Region, south Ulster). As researcher Conor Ward points out, "Geographically, Longford, where Grier was born, is only about 60 miles from most areas within the Oriel region of south Ulster."
- ↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by an 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.
