RISING SUN [3]. AKA and see “Guiry's Reel,” “Lady Montgomery (3),” “Miss Montgomery,” “Phelim's Frolic.” Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. A variant of other versions of the "Rising Sun" reel, originally Irish in provenance, but with a history in America dating to at least the mid-19th century. It was recorded in New York by 78 RPM-era fiddler Hugh Gillespie (originally from County Donegal). See also P.W. Joyce’s “Guiry's Reel," the closest variant. “Lady Montgomery (3),” “Miss Montgomery,” and “Phelim's Frolic” are more distanced but also related (some more in one strain than another).
