A right rollicking reel from my archives. Not played as often as it might be but it comes up in sessions sometimes. I like to play the g2 in bars 2 and 6 as a triplet.

Mando-friendly

I love it! This charming melody practically plays itself on the Mandolin. Does anyone have a bit of history on this tune?

I’ll make an entirely uneducated guess that it comes from a stable not so far from “The High Road To Linton”. Anyone care to shoot me down on this?

So, now we’re back to apples😉

Jenny Pippin

Patsy Touhey recorded this on wax cylinder about a century ago. A Boston publication of the 1950s, Jerry O’Brien’s Folk and Dance Music of Ireland, gives an apt alternate title for it - the Anvil Reel.
