Tune Annotations

Tune Annotations:	'''AS I WALKED ON THE ROAD TO SLIGO.''' Irish, Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. P.W. Joyce printed two variants of the tune, as "[[Kitty Alone]]" and "As I Walked on the Road to Sligo," while George Petrie collected a version from Patrick Carew's mss.<ref>Researcher Nicholas Carolan of the Irish Traditional Music Archive records that P. Carew (or, as collector William Forde gave his name, 'Paddy Carey') was a musically literate professional uilleann piper living in Lag Lane, St Finbarre’s parish, Cork, in the mid-1840's. The area, notes Carolan, was near a military barracks, and was the location of shebeens (illicit bars) and brothels, notorious for poverty and crime. A number of harper Turlough O'Carolan's compositions were in his repertoire, and were the object of collectors. </ref> as "[[Paddy Brown]]."
