N:Another tune from the Reilly family repertoire which, most likely, came from the
N:fiddle master, Peter Kennedy from Ballinamore. Terry Reilly and his neighbour, Alex
N:Sutherland, learned their fiddling from Peter Kennedy, and would have learned some
N:of their repertoire from him also. Another setting appears in O'Neill's Music of
N:Ireland, No. 1142, and in his Dance Music of Ireland, No. 428, attributed to James
N:Kennedy, son of Peter, who emigrated to the USA and settled in Chicago. He
N:contributed many tunes to O'Neill's collections. All of these tunes can be heard on
N:Brian McNamara's excellent CD 'The Fort of the Jewels', which was launced last July.
