SMASH THE WINDOWS [2] (Bris na fuinneogide). Irish, Reel (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O’Neill): AA’BB’ (Miller). A reel setting of the more famous jig “Smash the Windows (1)." Paul de Grae suggests it was an amusement of Francis O'Neill's scribe, Chicago police sergeant and fiddler, James O'Neill, to fashion a reel from the 6/8 setting[1]. The tune could be played as a fling.
