GARRETT BARRY'S REEL. AKA and see "Denis Murphy's Reel (1)," "Mr. McLeod's." AKA - "Denis Murphy's Miss McLeod's." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Garrett Barry (1847-1899) was a blind piper from Inagh, County Clare, who died in the Ennistymon Poor House around the year 1900, "whose memory is very much alive in the locality to the present day" (Mitchell). It is said that it was Barry's habit to pair this tune with the "Virginia Reel (6)." Fr. John Qinn finds the tune family to also include O'Neill's variant "Grey Plover (The)" (suspected as Garrett Barry's model) and the Sliabh Luachra "Charlie Mulvihill's Reel (2);" all based on "Miss McLeod's Reel (1)/Mrs. MacLeod of Raasay."
