Irish, Double Jig. E Minor (O'Neill, Taylor, Williamson): E Dorian (Moylan, Mulvihill). Standard. AA'B (Taylor): AABB (O'Neill): AABB' (Taylor, Williamson): AA'BCDD' (Moylan). David Taylor (1992) remarks that this tune follows a basic structure found in many minor key Irish tunes: two bars of melody built around the tonic, followed by two in the dominant chord, two more tonic, and finally a bar each of the dominant and tonic. He advances that this is why many tunes that follow this structure can sometimes be confused or mixed up, pointing out similarly sounding, though different tunes, such as "Over the Hills" are frequent. The melody is at least as old as the latter 19th century, for O'Neill (1913) records it was the first jig learned as a boy by Callinafercy, Kilcoleman, County Kerry fiddler and Uilleann piper William F. Hanafin, born in 1875 (who later, as an adolescent, emigrated to Massachusetts). Williamson (1976) states annecdotally that the apple was anciently known as 'the salvation of the poet', and relates the tale of a Welsh bard named Sion Kent who was about to be taken by the Devil. Just in time he managed to catch hold of an apple tree, thwarting the evil one, though at the same time insuring fate, for though untouchable to hell he is unsuitable for heaven and is thus doomed to wander the winds of the world evermore. See also the different, though similar in some respects tune "Old Apples in Winter."

ABC (Moylan, Mitchell): AABBCC (Breathnach, Brody, Mallinson, O'Neill/Krassen): AABB'CC (O'Neill/1850 & 1001): ABBCCDEEFF (Mitchell). O'Neill (1001 Gems) prints the tune under the titles "Banish Misfortune," "The Humours of Mullinafauna" and "Nancy Hines," while Roche has it as "The Humours of Mullinafauna" and "The Little Bag of Meal." P.W. Joyce gives it as "The Bag of Meal" and was the first to print it (in his Ancient Irish Music, 1873), according to Brendan Breathnach. "Máire Ní Eidhinn" is the title in Petrie's 1905 Complete Collection of Irish Music, though O'Neill thought the 3-part version he collected from Cronin to be "much superior." Petrie takes his title from the poem "Máire Ni Éidhin" by Raftery, the blind poet of Connacht, which he wrote in honour of one thought the loveliest girl in Ireland, and which is still sung to this tune.

BANKS HORNPIPE. AKA- "Banks of the River." AKA and see "Kinloch's Grand Hornpipe," "Mrs. Taff," "Souvenir of Venice." Scottish, Canadian, Irish; Hornpipe. Canada, Nova Scotia. E Flat Major (Scottish versions): G Major (Black). Standard. AAB (Black, Honeyman): AABB (Brody, Hardie, Hunter). "Composed by Parazotti" is an ascription often found attached to this tune, sometimes called a 'descriptive hornpipe'. The composer's origins were somewhat obscure. Alburger (1983) stated she could find no composer by that name and suggested it could possibly be a set of a piece which was danced to by Mme Pariot, who retired from the London stage to marry in 1809. Alastair Hardie (1992), however, reports that Parazotti did exist and was actually the grandson of an Italian violinist who settled in Glasgow. The tune was inspired by the sights and sounds of a river in spate. The melody appears first in print in 1881 in Kohlers' Violin Repository (Bk. 1) under the title "Mrs. Taff" (whom Hardie explains was a person who resided on the West coast of Scotland and was Parazotti's patron for a time. It is said she was the owner of the house in which Parazotti composed his tune). The piece is similar to the tune "Souvinir De Venice Hornpipe" in the 1883 Ryan's Mammoth Collection. " This tune is credited to L. Ostinelli, an Italian who arrived in Boston in the year 1818. Michael Broyles references this musician in his book Music of the Highest Class: Elitism and Populism in Antebellum Boston:
***
He was keenly aware of the reputation the violin had as a
vernacular instrument in New England. According to several
anecdotes, he was furious when his violin was referred to as a
fiddle or when he was requested to play dance music. Once
when asked by a lady if he was to play for a dance following
a concert, he deliberately cut his violin strings and said 'Veree
story, veree story, madam, you see I can no play.'
***
Ostinelli, of whom little is known, was mentioned in Dwight's Journal of Music in 1859. His lasting cliam to fame is his variation which is often used as a finale today by fiddler's playing "The Banks" (Cranford, 1997). The present title, "Banks," is actually the shortened form of the composer's alternate title "Banks of the River" (according to the late Shetland fiddler, collector, teacher and composer Tom Anderson). Scottish fiddler Charles Hardie (1849-1893) was praised by one of the greatest Scottish violinists of his time, J. Scott Skinner, for his rendition of this tune. "The Banks" is one of the tunes sometimes requested of Shetland fiddlers because it is popularly known that "anything composed in a flat key is considered to be a real test of a fiddler's ability" (Cooke, 1986). Skinner himself recorded the tune in the 1920's as part of his "Celebrated Hornpipes" medley. It is also popular in Nova Scotia. In Scotland it is traditionally preceded by the slow strathspey "The Dean Brig o' Edinburgh."

BIG BALL IN TOWN. "Roll On the Ground." Old-Time, Song Tune. The title composition was the result of The Skillet Licker's marrying of the tune "Roll on the Ground" with new words. The tune was recorded by J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers, and by West Virginia string band duo the Cumberland Mountain Entertainers (Sam Caplinger & fiddler Andy Patterson {1893-1950}) in 1928 for Brunswick-Vocalation (Later the duo moved to Akron, Ohio, and formed the Dixie Harmonizers, who recorded for Gennett).

The town of Blarney, County Cork, is the location of Blarney Castle, said to have been the seat of the McCarthy's, the great kings of Munster. A pilgrimage to kiss the blarney stone, which is embedded in the wall of a castle and can only be reached by being dangled out of a window, bestows the gift of eloquent speech.

BLACKBIRD, THE [1] (An Londubh). AKA and see "Once On a Morning of Sweet Recreation," "Bonny Lass of Aberdeen." See "Napoleon Crossing the Rhine" [2] for an American version of the same tune. Irish, English; Slow Air, Set, Long or Country Dance (4/4 time), Reel, Hornpipe. D Major (Allan, O'Neill/1850): D Major/Mixolydian (Cranitch, Moylan, Mulvihill, O'Neill/1001): D Mixolydian (Breathnach, Kennedy, Kerr, O'Neill/1915 & Krassen, Raven, & Roche). Standard. AB (Moylan): AAB (Kennedy, Raven, Roche): AABB (Allan, Breathnach, Cranitch, Mulvihill, O'Neill {4 editions}): AABCBC (Roche). The original song from which the instrumental versions take the title was written c. 1707 in praise of the Old Pretender, according to Flood (1906), who found reference to it as early as 1709 and who noted its printing by Alan Ramsay in 1724 in his Tea Table Miscellany. Other sources date the words from the war of 1688-90. So well understood was the nickname The Blackbird as applied to James I, Flood says, that the Jacobite Earl of Thomond, in 1704, had a horse of that name. Caoimhin Mac Aodha points out that the image of the blackbird, An Lon Dubh, is that of a melodious harbinger of joy in Irish folklore, unlike the raven, crow, rook or jackdaw, which are all associated with death and misfortune. In this spirit of hope the 'Blackbird' name was applied after the Old Pretender to James II and, in the 19th century, to Charles Stewart Parnell.
***
The melody itself became known as a harp air of the latter Jacobite period. Cooke included it in his Selection of Favourite Original Irish Airs arranged for Pianoforte, Violin or Flute (Dublin, 1793). O'Neill (1913) finds a simple setting of the melody in A Pocket Volume of Airs, Songs, Marches, etc., Vol. 1, published by Paul Alday at Dublin about 1800-1803. Breathnach (1963) printed a verse of the song that was in his source's (George Rowley) family:
***
The Maytime is come and the gay flowers are springing,
The wild birds are singing their loving notes o'er;
But all the day long through my lone heart is ringing,
The voice of my blackbird, I'll never so more.
***
Later the melody gained currency as a set-dance tune, and the Scottish editor Kerr noted that the tune was the "Chef D'oeuvre of all the Irish fiddlers" in the latter 1800's, although he never heard any two of them play the tune exactly alike. He claims his version to be a composite of the styles and embellishments he heard. About the year 1930 an itinerant schoolteacher told a young John Kelly: "There are a lot of people playing 'The Blackbird' who can't play it right, but I'm warning you, my boy, never play 'The Blackbird' unless you have all the parts right and the proper tempo. It's the one tune you will always be picked up for if you play it wrong" (quoted in Dal gCais, 1979, pg. 35). James Cowdery (1990) states that it is one of the few tunes found in all parts of Ireland with the same title and the same melodic structure, though variations abound. Donegal fiddler Neillidh Boyle, for example, played an intricate version of "An Londubh" which included a birdsong imitation generated by playing the melody on the bottom strings with the bow and fingering and plucking chords on the top two strings with the left hand at the same time (Mac Aoidh, 1994). An interesting tracing of the aural tradition was outlined by Mac Aoidh who remarks that southwest Donegal fiddler Frank Cassidy learned the tune from the lilting of John Lyons or Teelin. The famous musician and collector Séamus Ennis learned this version, which in turn was passed onto fiddler Tommie Potts, who made a historic recording of the tune. Elsewhere Mac Aoidh states that in south Donegal the air/hornpipe is associated with John and Mickey Doherty and James Byrne as well as Cassidy.
***
In modern titles the song is seldom sung, though the tune is frequently played as a slow air as well as a set-dance and other settings. Breandan Breathnach (1971) states that the original set dance was "said to have been composed by Keily, a Limerick dancing master, over 150 years ago." Cowdry (1990) points out the set-dance's structure--fifteen bars for the 'A' part and thirty for the 'B'--is unique in Irish traditional music. Reel and hornpipe versions are not nearly so widespread in this century, "until some recent recordings (such as "The Bothy Band" in 1977) brought them to more prominence" (Cowdery). Cowdery provides extensive musical analysis of a number of different versions of this tune and tune family in his work The Melodic Tradition of Ireland.

Sources for notated versions: Chicago police sergeant and fiddler James O'Neill, Francis O'Neill's collaborator, who learned the tune from his father in County Down [O'Neill]; fiddler George Rowley/Seoirse Ó Roghallaigh (Ireland) [Breathnach]. James Cowdery, in his book The Melodic Tradition of Ireland, has transcribed fifteen versions of the tune from Irish musicians (some contributed more than one version): whistle player Cathal McConnell (a slow-air setting credited to a Fermanagh musician Pat McKenna), fiddler John Kelly (a slow-air setting learned from Donegal fiddler John Doherty), fiddler Denis Murphy, piper Paddy Keenan, piper Seamus Ennis, fiddler Tommy Potts, flutist Peter Broderick, fiddler Michael Coleman, piper R.L. O'Mealy, and piper Johnny Doran. The piece is a popular slow air in County Donegal. Allan's Irish Fiddler, No. 111, pg. 28. Breathnach (CRE I), 1963; No. 207, pg. 84.

BONNIE KATE [1] (Cait Deas). AKA - "Bonny Kate." AKA and see "The Boys of Limerick," "The Bonny Lass of Fishirron/Fisherrow," "Cait Bhoidheach." Irish, English, Canadian; Reel. Canada; Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, Ontario. D Major. Standard. AB (Breathnach, Kerr, O'Neill): ABB' (Moylan): AABB (Brody, Allan, Cole, Phillips): AA'BB' (Perlman): ABCD (Breathnach, Miller). The tune, which appears to have been derived in Ireland from the Scot Daniel Dow's C Major reel "The Bonnie Lass of Fisherrow" (published in his Complete Repository, vol. 3, c. 1773), was popularised by the famous Irish-American fiddler Michael Coleman whose setting has become a classic. Daniel Michael Collins (in notes to Shanachie 29009) opines: "The reel has a great potential for creating boredom because of the fact that it contains phrases that are repeated over and over again. It is only through the use of variation and good presentation of rolls and triplets can any musician make the tunes in anyway interesting." An untitled setting appears in Joyce's Old Irish Folk Music and Song, No. 126. The tune was picked up by Texas style fiddler Benny Thomasson (from Cole's 1001??).

BROKEN PLEDGE, THE (An Geall Briste). Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Sligo. D Dorian (Flaherty): D Mixolydian (O'Neill/Krassen, Willaimson): D Mixolydian/Dorian (Cranitch): D Major (O'Neill/1850 & 1001). Standard. AABB. There are several thoughts as to the origin of the title. One is that the pledge refers to a love pledge, in which a young couple, soon to be parted due to sea or military service, pledge their affection for one another and promise to remain faithful during the interim. It is also said the title refers to a failed temperance pledge, from the days of the temperance movement. A related Irish tradition says that at the Church asks children at the age of 11 or 12 to promise not to drink before they reach the age of twenty. Needless to say, few achieved the age not having broken the pledge. Occasionally the tune is played in the key of E Minor.

BURKE'S [1]. AKA and see "Baby Gavin," "Charlie Mulvihill's," "Connie O'Connell's," "Coughlan's," "Gallagher's," "Lad O'Beirne's," "The Short Road," "The Silver Vale." Irish, Jig. D Dorian. Standard. AABB. Musicologist Philippe Varlet suspects the tune was called by this title in the 1970's Bulmer and Sharpley collection due to its appearance on the Joe Burke/Andy McGann/Felix Dolan c. 1965 record "Funny Reel" (Shanachie CD 34016). A hand-written note in my copy Mulvihill's collection reads: "a Donegal tune from Lad O'Beirne's crowd." Fiddler Pete Kelly, originally from County Galway, has laid claim to composing the tune, which he called "The Shannonaires Jig," named for the Shannonaires Ceili Band, a children's group organized in NYC in the 1960's for a tour. Kelly lately plays with the Premier Ceili Band, with button accordion player Martin Mulhaire. Sources for notated versions: Brendan Mulvihill (Baltimore, Md.)

DOWD'S FAVORITE. AKA - "O'Dowd's Favorite." Irish, Cape Breton; Reel. G Aeolian (Gm) ('A' and 'C' parts) & B Flat Major ('B' part) [Brody]. Standard. AABBCC (Brody): ABC (Miller & Perron). The melody is a setting of the Scottish march/strathspey "The Braes of Bushbie," perhaps composed by John Bowie and appearing in his 1789 Collection. It was said to be a favorite of the great Scots fiddler Niel Gow's. Reworked as "O'Dowd's Favorite" (often called "Dowd's Favorite") it was famously recorded by County Sligo/New York fiddler Michael Coleman in 1921. Coleman himself probably obtained the melody from Sligo fiddler John O'Dowd, who also had emigrated to New York and where Coleman heard him play. See also the related tunes "The Rover" [4], "Dublin Lasses," "Murtough Mulloy" and "Tee Ree Reel;" they have a similar sequence in the first part. "The Curragh Races" and "The Maid in the Cherry Tree" are also related, and like "Dowd's Favorite," shift to the relative major in the second part.

The confusion stems from the fact that the tune was published in Niel Gow's 1784 Strathspey Reels -- the collection was edited and published by his son Nathaniel however, who added the variations). Glen (1891) believes its ancestral tune to have been "Strick Upon a Strogin" in the Leyden MS of 1692 (Bayard {1981} remarks, "he may be right, but I see no special reason for thinking so."). The most common names for the tune have been "Duncan Davidson" and "Ye'll Aye Be Welcome Back Again," of which the latter, according to Glen, is the older form (he also thinks Burns composed the David title). Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearences of the tune in print in Alexander M'Glashan's 1780 collection (pg. 14), and, as "Duncan Davie," in Joshua Campbell's 1778 collection (pg. 31).

EARL OF SEAFIELD'S REEL, THE [3]. AKA and see "Andy's Reel." Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard. AB. A 19th century tune composed by Donald Grant, appearing in a collection of 1820. The melody was recorded by Cape Breton fiddler Joe Cormier (like Winston Fitzgerald, a founding member of the Cape Breton Symphony) under the title "Andy's Reel." Source for notated version: Winston Fitzgerald (1914-1987, Cape Breton) [Cranford]. Cranford (Winston Fitzgerald), 1997; No. 128, pg. 52.

American, March (2/4 time). USA, southwestern Pa. D Major. Standard. AB (Bayard): AABB (Sweet). This march has long been played by many southwestern Pennsylvania martial bands, according to Bayard (1981), but the parent tune is Scottish being called "Duncan Davidson," "Ye'll Aye Be Welcome Back Again," or (in one source) "Gentle Ann" (Aird). Glen says of these Scottish tunes that the Welcome Back air is the older, and that "Duncan Davidson" was composed by Robert Burns; however he thinks the ancestral tune to be "Strick upon a Strogin," which appears in the Leyden Manuscript of 1692 (Bayard seems somewhat skeptical of this).

FORTUNE [1]. AKA- "Once I Had a Fortune." Old-Time, Song and Breakdown. USA, "most popular around Galax, Va." (Krassen, 1973). D Major. Standard or ADAE. AABB. Called a "Blue-Ridge Mountain standard," it is found in western North Carolina and southwest Virginia, but has become particularly identified with Galax, southwestern Virginia, style bands. It was, for example, one of the few tunes recorded by legendary Galax, Va., fiddler Emmett Lundy. Mt. Airy, North Carolina, fiddler Tommy Jarrell (1901-1986) said of the melody: "I can recollect hearing my daddy play it as far back as I can recollect. I don't know where that started from...it was more just an old, well, a flat foot dance tune I'd say." Sources for notated versions: The Bogtrotters (Galax, Va) [Brody]; Charlie Higgins (Galax, Va.) [Krassen]; The Backwoods Band (Kuntz); Tommy Jarrell (Mt. Airy, N.C.) [Kuntz]; Ottis Burris [Phillips].
***
Once I had a fortune, I put it in my trunk,
I lost it all a-gambling one night when I was drunk.
***
Wish I had a pretty little hog/horse, corn to feed him on,
And a pretty little wife around the farm to feed him when I'm gone. (Jarrell)
***
Oh once I had a fortune, I put it in my trunk,
I lost it all a-gamblin' one night when I was drunk.
***
Chorus
Fortune I had it, fortune I lost it,
Fortune I lost it one night when I was drunk.
***
Once I had a fortune but now I've lost it all,
Drinkin' and a gambling and playin' at the ball.
***
I'm packin' up my suitcase and now I say goodbye,
I'm gonna live a gamblin' man until the day I die. (The Backwoods Band)

AABB (O'Neill/Krassen): AA'BB' (Breathnach, Mallinson, Tubridy): AABBCCDD (Mulvihill, O'Neill/1001, 1850 & 1915). The tune was renamed by O'Neill in honor of his source, John Gillan, "to avoid confusion" as the title on the original manuscript was "Apples in Winter" and O'Neill already had a tune by that name (Irish Folk Music, pg. 93). O'Farrell prints a version as "The Apples in Winter." The tune is often called "Gillian's Apples," a miss-hearing of the name Gillan.

Breathnach called it "Fáinne Óir Ort" (A gold ring on you) to avoid confusion with O'Neill's "Gold Ring," but said his source Sonny Brogan called it "The Gold Ring." This may be the four-part tune of this name which is the composition of the great Co. Mayo/New York fiddler John McGrath (1900-1955). Paul de Grae remarks, "All the old fiddlers in Arfert (North Kerry) used to play it," and says their version was similar to that printed by Breathnach.

GRAF SPEE, THE. AKA - "The Grand Spey." AKA and see "The Grants of Strathspey," "Winnie Green's Reel," "The Western Lasses." Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Sligo, Derry. C Major (Flaherty, O'Neill): D Major (Alewine, Black). Standard. AABBCC (Flaherty): AABCCD (Black): AABBCCD (Alewine): AABB'CCD (O'Neill): AABCCDDE (Mulvihill). Seattle (1987) believes the name to be a curious corruption of the title "Grants of Strathspey" transformed into the name of the famous World War I German battleship (itself named after a famous German admiral). Flaherty's version is somewhat distanced from O'Neill's. "The Western Lasses" as a variant is more noticeable in the second and third parts of the tune rather than the first. Philippe Varlet finds an early recording of the tune on a 78 RPM disc by an American Irish piper named Martin Beirne (who led the Blackbird Orchestra) on which it is called "The Grand Spy." Sources for notated versions: fiddler Fred Finn {1919-1986} (Kiltycreen, Kilavil, County Sligo) [Flaherty]; Jim McElhone (County Derry) [Mulvihill]; New York fiddlers Andy McGann and Brian Conway [Black]; Tony Smith [Bulmer & Sharpley].

GREENFIELDS OF AMERICA [1] ("Garranta Glasa Mheiriceá," "Na Paircib Glais America" or "Pairci Glasa America"). AKA and see "Greenfields of Virginia" (Pa.), "Greenfields of Canada," "Charming/Pretty/Purty Molly/Judy/Miss Branigan/Brannagan," "Judy/Molly Brallaghan," "Miss Wedderburn," "Cossey's Jig," "Jimmy O'Brien's Jig," "Garranta Glasa Mheiricea." See also the related tune "Old Mother Flanagan." Irish, New England; Reel. USA; New England, southwestern Pa. A Major (Brody): G Major (Bayard, Breathnach, Cole, Miller & Perron, Mitchell, O'Neill, Phillips, Tolman). Standard. AB (Bayard, O'Neill/1915 & 1850): AAB (Mitchell): AABB (Miller & Perron, Phillips): AABB' (O'Neill/Krassen): AABC (Breathnach): AABBCC (Brody, Cole, Tolman). Samuel Bayard (1981) sees the tune as having two separate versions, a song air which is the elder and an instrumental air deriving from it. The song, says Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains, "is surely one of the finest songs of emigration in our tradition and many versions of it abound." It is generally thought to have Ulster origins, though at least one early version of the song has the emigrant bidding farewell to County Wicklow. The earliest published version is to be found in a 19th century collection by S.A. Such, London. John Hartford believes the tune is a cousin to "Speed the Plow." Breathnach (1963) says the tune is similar to "Cossey's Jig," first published in Jackson's Celebrated Tunes (1774) and a version of this jig appears as "Jimmy O'Brien's Jig" printed by O'Neill. Sources for notated versions: Andy Cahan (North Carolina) [Brody]; Frank King (Westmoreland County, Pa., 1960), Irvin Yaugher (Fayette County, Pa., 1944),;Issac Morris (Greene County, Pa., 1930's) [Bayard]; April Limber [Phillips]; piper Willie Clancy (1918-1973, Miltown Malbay, west Clare) [Mitchell]; fiddler Tommy Potts [Breathnach].

HUMOURS OF BANDON, THE (Sugra Droiciod-Na-Bandann). AKA and see "Humours of Listivain," "The Jolly Old Woman," "The Merry Old Woman" [3], "Plangsty Callagh," "Terry's Rambles," "(An) tSeanbhean Sultmhar." Irish, Set Dance (6/8 time). G Major/Mixolydian. Standard. AABB. A Whig tune having eight bars in the 'A' part and sixteen bars in the second. It was known as far back as 1690 when the Irish (who had learned it from the supporters of William III) played it when they sacked Kilbrogan (Winstock, 1970, pg. 26). As "The Humours of Listivain" it appears in Jackson's Celebrated Irish Tunes, published in Dublin by Samuel Lee around 1775 (reprinted in 1790), a collection of tunes from gentleman piper Walker 'Piper' Jackson of the townland of Lisduan in the parish of Ballingarry, Aughrim, County Limerick. The tune was still current in 19th century County Limerick, for O'Neill (1913) mentions a retired Chicago policeman colleague remembered having danced it in his boyhood to the piping of Newcastle-West gentleman-musician Jack Moore. The title appears in the John Carroll manuscript of dance music entrusted to the Newberry Library in Chicago. Carroll was apparently stationed at Fort Niagara in the early 19th century and the dates 1804 and 1812 appear contained in the pages of the manuscript. Allan's Irish Fiddler, No. 109, pg. 28.

Hanging on a tree,
And every time my true love passed,
She'd take a little bite of me. (Johnson)

LARRY O'GAFF [1] (Lamrais Ua Gabaig). AKA and see "Bundle and Go," "Daniel O'Connell," "Hob or Nob," "Making Babies by Steam," "O'Gaff's Jig." Irish (originally), American, Canadian; Double Jig. Ireland, County Sligo. USA; New England, Maine, New York, Pa. Canada, Prince Edward Island. A Major (Bronner): D Major (Bayard, Flaherty, Stanford/Petrie): G Major (Allan, Bayard, Brody, Cole, Kerr, Perlman, Phillips, Sweet, Tolman): F Major (Hardings). Standard. AB (Bayard, Bronner, Stanford/Petrie): AAB (Kerr): AABB (Allan, Cole, Hardings, Perlman, Phillips, Roche, Sweet, Tolman): AABB' (Flaherty, O'Neill). The "Larry O'Gaff" title for the tune comes from a nonsensical stage-Irish song whose words are only rarely reported (they can be found in a folk version in Creighton's "Songs and Ballads from Nova Scotia"), and it appears the melody normally was used as an instrumental piece. It is usually associated with Northeastern players in the United States. The older title was probably "Hob or Nob" posits Bayard (1981), which was the title of an old British dance. Bronner (1987) suggests notes that suggests a connection with "The Campbells Are Coming" and "Miss McLeod's Reel," which his source (central N.Y. fiddler Les Weir) also called "Hob or Knob". He thinks that the popularity of "Larry O'Gaff" may come from its ability to replace the aforementioned tunes at country dances. In fact, by 1858 it was reported not as a jig but as a country dance in Howe's Ball-Room Hand Book. David Taylor (1992) remarks at the similarity of the piece with the Irish jig "Daniel O'Connell," and says that the two tunes, though commonly played in different keys, are often confused. He further notes "Bundle and Go," which is listed as an alternate title for "Larry O'Gaff" by Roche, is and alternate title (though an unusual one) for his "Daniel O'Connell." "O'Gaff" was cited as having commonly been played for country dances in Orange County, New York, in the 1930's (Lettie Osborn, New York Folklore Quarterly). The title appears in the repertoire list of Maine native Mellie Dunham, an elderly fiddler who was Henry Ford's champion dance musician in the mid-1920's. Words to the 'A' part of the tune begin:
***
It was early on Monday, I mean late on a Sunday,
We went to the wedding of Darvey McGraw.
***
The tune is also the vehicle for the song "Humours of Whiskey."
