Great tune. A guitar version appears on Taxi mauve’s "Far Off Fields".

It’s not the "Mick O’Connor’s" that appears on "Redwood".

Seems like there are a lot of different versions of this floating around. The one I learnt at my local session goes something along the lines of this:

I’ve heard other versions with a very different B-part ending which I’ll post if I can pick it up next session.

This was recorded on a Columbia 78 by fiddler John Gerrity, under the title "Gerrity Reel."
