REEL [80]. Irish, Reel (cut time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). This untitled reel can be found in the c. 1883 music manuscript collection (Book 2, No. 211, p. 45) ofpiper and fiddler biography:Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894) of Newpark, Bohey, Gortletteragh, south Co. Leitrim. Researcher Conor Ward finds that Brendan Breathnach collected a similar reel, perhaps cognate, also untitled, from County Fermanagh fiddler John Cathcart, although it received the name "Taste of Scotland (A)" when it was published in Ceol Rince na hÉirreann vol. V (1999, No. 172).
The reel sounds better with one sharp.
