The alternate title "Knocknabower" is from a mis-print on the influential "Star Above the Garter" recording, and unfourtunatley has gained some currency at the expense of the correct title, "Knocknaboul." The second strain is shared with that of "[[Barley Grain (3) (The)]]," a reel in County Cork cleric, uilleann piper and collector James Goodmman's large mid-19th century music manuscript collection (vol. 3, p. 78). See also Goodman's "Greggs Pipes (2)" which contains similar melodic material. | ||

Fr. John Quinn finds the third strain of Brendan Breathnach's "[[Knocknaboul Polka (2)]]" to be something of a "floater", versions of which he also finds in the first strain of Breathnach's untitled polka No. 91 in his '''Ceol Rince na hĖireann vol. 4''' (see "[[Polka (31)]]" and in an untitled polka in Frank Roche's '''Traditional Music of Ireland vol. 3''' (1927, No. 129, see "[[Polka (32)]]"). Conor Ward points out that both parts of the latter tune (i.e. untitled No. 129 in Roche) are in fact distanced versions of "[[Buffalo Gals]]." | |||

Fr. John Quinn finds the third strain of Brendan Breathnach's "Knocknaboul Polka (2)" to be something of a "floater", versions of which he also finds in the first strain of Breathnach's untitled polka No. 91 in his Ceol Rince na hĖireann vol. 4 (see "Polka (31)" and in an untitled polka in Frank Roche's Traditional Music of Ireland vol. 3 (1927, No. 129, see "Polka (32)"). Conor Ward points out that both parts of the latter tune (i.e. untitled No. 129 in Roche) are in fact distanced versions of "Buffalo Gals."
