'''LAD O'BEIRNE'S (HORNPIPE)'''. AKA - "[[Reavy's Hornpipe]]." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Cranford/Holland): AA'BB' (Reavy). Composed by prolific tune composer and fiddler Ed Reavy (1898-1988) originally from County Cavan, Ireland, who lived in Corktown, near Philadelphia, Pa., for many years.

as O'Beirne loved the tune, although it was originally written for Reavy's son, Ed Reavy Jr., a lover of hornpipes. The younger Reavy especially liked "[[Harvest Home (1)]]" and his father promised to write him a hornpipe in the same vein. Reavy Jr. was somewhat skeptical, as he considered "[[Harvest Home (1)]]" a masterpiece, but a few weeks later the elder returned home from a dance and played the hornpipe for his son, and "when I heard that tune, that's when I realized that he was a genius." Ed Reavy Jr. thinks it is different from the sort of hornpipes his father usually wrote. The piece was recorded by the great County Sligo/New York fiddler Michael Coleman in 1944, and later, in the 1960's by Sean Ryan (although it appeared under the title "[[Flowing Tide (3)]]," a title that usually goes with another hornpipe).

Fenced In, by Bonnie Bruno

On November 24, 1874, Joseph F. Glidden of DeKalb, Illinois, was granted a patent for fencing material consisting of barbs wrapped around a single strand of wire and held in place by twisting that strand around another. His original double-strand design, the Winner, lived up to its name; it is the most commercially successful of the hundreds of eventual barbed wire designs. Glidden was also the winner in a welter of litigation that reached all the way to the Supreme Court after some dozen other inventors claimed legal priority. Barbed wire was not immediately successful in Texas and elsewhere, especially with smaller cattle ranchers who depended on an 'open range' to sustain their operations. Their opposition led to the barbed wire conflicts of the 1880's, but eventually the ranges were fenced off. Although open range became a thing of the past, barbed wire helped cattlemen to breed herds in protected environments, thus negating the reliance on long-horned cattle that were more suitable to the open range.
