% Altho' this splendid reel does not appear in the Bunting, Petrie or
% Joyce Collections, it was pretty generally known to the pipers and
% fiddlers of Chicago, hailing from the west, and south of Ireland
% and always by the same name. Occasionally variants of the tune
% are found in manuscript collections. In arrangement, Touhey's
% setting differs both in key and style from that printed in former
% O'Neill Collections.
