'''BLACKTHORN STICK [1]'''. AKA and see "Billy Patterson('s Favorite)," "Boys of Bockhill/Rockhill," "The Catholic Boys [3]," "The Coach Road to Sligo [1]," "Daniel O'Connell's Welcome to Parliament," "The Eagle's Nest," "Fire in the Valley," "Fire on the Mountain(s) [2]," "The Hare on the Mountain," "Humors of Bantry," "The Maid(en) on the Green," "O'Connell's Welcome," "The Rose on the Mountain [1]," and "Joys of Wedlock [2]." Irish (originally), English, American; Jig. G Major (Allan, Kennedy, Miller & Perron, Spandaro, Sweet): A Major (Barnes, Kerr, Raven). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Kerr): AABB (most versions). This popular tune has been absorbed into several fiddling traditions, similar to the jig "Haste to the Wedding." For example, it is one of the tunes (along with "Ten-Penny Bit" and "Connaughtman's Rambles") used to accompany English rapper sword dancing. Bayard (1981) thinks the tune "a thoroughly characteristic Irish jig, probably of no great age." Blackthorn, Prunus spinosa also known as the Europena spiny plum, is a hard wood tree or bush with small white flowers. It is reddish-black in color and has very sharp, vicious spines on the bark. Its wood is very hard, close grained and has numerous knots, and although it can be difficult to work with, it is the choice wood for canes. Modern day shillelaghs are made of blackthorn due to the long shortage of oak in Ireland, and tend to be short, stubby implements (as opposed to the old oak shillelaghs which were about three feet long). See also "Welcome Home, Royal Charlie," which uses one part of "Blackthorn Stick [1]."
