T:FIRST HOUSE IN CONNAUGHT (reel)\
C:ABC/arr. BB\
N:O'Brien's interesting setting of this old reel. Either in G minor \
or G major, the accented F's in mm 3-4 and 11-12 tend to be played as \
natural. This is in contrast to the setting that appears in other\
collections (e.g. "Allan's Irish Fiddler", tunefolder 11) where\
all F's are sharp.\

(3) version in Ador\
N:However . . .\
If you think keeping this tune in a minor key is a good idea,\
here's an easier version for non-box players:\
