The reel's popularity was not confined to Scotland for we find it named 'Duke of Clarence Reel (The)' in Lavenu's New Country Dances for the Year 1798, published at London. "Colonel Mac Bean's Reel" is also contained in vol. 2 (p. 156)[1] of the large c. mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper James Goodman, who had obtained it from a manuscript provided him by Dublin bookseller John O'Daly, according to Hugh & Lisa Shields[2] (Goodman's "Miss Westrop's Reel", in volume 1 of his mss. is cognate with "Colonel McBain's" in the first strain only).

The reel also was entered in to Goodman's contemporary, fiddler and piper Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894) x, 1883 music manuscript collection as "Captain McBain."

A setting of this noted reel as played by the experts of the Irish Music Club of Chicago may be found on page 116 of O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland.

In composition and fluency of rhythm the variant above presented compares very favorably with the original especially when given expression on the fiddle in the inimitable style of the genial Paddy Stack from whom the manuscript was obtained."

+The reel also was entered in to Goodman's contemporary, fiddler and piper [[biography:Stephen Grier|Stephen Grier]] (c. 1824-1894) x, 1883 music manuscript collection as "Captain McBain."
-The melody is known by most traditional musicians now-a-days by the title "Humours of Ennistymon," however, pipers seem to know it better as "Coppers and Brass."
+A setting of this noted reel as played by the experts of the Irish Music Club of Chicago may be found on page 116 of O'Neill's '''Dance Music of Ireland'''.
-Breathnach remarks that the tune was originally printed (by John Walsh before 1736 in Country Dances Book the Second) under the title "Larry Grogan," named for the County Wexford gentleman piper of the early-mid 1700's.
+In composition and fluency of rhythm the variant above presented compares very favorably with the original especially when given expression on the fiddle in the inimitable style of the genial Paddy Stack from whom the manuscript was obtained."
-Aird's (Selections, vol. II, c. 1790) "The Lasses of Melross" has the same first part.
-O'Neill prints versions of the tune as "Hartigan's Fancy" (a poor version, states Breathnach), "By your leave, Larry Grogan," "Little Fanny's Fancy," and "The County Limerick Buckhunt." In a later O'Neill publication (Waifs and Strays) it appears as "The Limerick Buckhunt" and "The Waves of Tramore." Joyce (1909) gives it as "Green Sleeves." See also note for "Groom."
