Additional notes
Source for notated version : - According to O'Neill in Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1913) Chicago/County Mayo fiddler John McFadden obtained the tune from the playing of singer, dance and flute player Michael White, born at or near Tralee, County Kerry, who emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio. However, in Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby (1910) O’Neill credits the source of the tune to Chicago police patrolman, piper and flute player John Ennis, originally from County Kildare [O’Neill]; accordion player Johnny O’Leary (Sliabh Luachra region of the Cork-Kerry border [Moylan]; fiddler Brenda Stubbert (b. 1959, Point Aconi, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) [Cranford].
