Warner Walton tells the (rather apocryphal) story that Flannery was a Revolutionary War fiddler who was under a sentence of death. The commanding officer, knowing he could play, agreed to set him free if Flannery could play him a tune he hadn't heard. Flannery dreamt this tune the night before his scheduled execution.  
Brendan Breathnach (1963, 1971), Robin Williamson (1976) and other knowledgeable musicians generally think the tune, a perennial favorite of performers, originated in Scotland. O'Neill finds that Bremner published it under the title "Caper Fey" (an English corruption of the Gaelic "Caber Féigh/[[Cabar Féidh]]," 'the deer's horns') in 1768 in his '''Second Collection of Scots Reels or Country Dances.''' "Rakish Paddy" is cited by Cowdery (1990) as the title tune of a dance tune family (including one march version) which includes the alternate titles given above.  


John Hartford pointed out that Flannery may have been a Civil War figure rather than a Revolutionary War soldier, and, in any case, the story is quite similar to one told about West Virginia's Solly Carpenter (see note for "[[annotation:Camp Chase (2)]]").  
There are three distinct versions of the tune, says Cowdery, the first and most common of the three has its two strains corresponding to the Scots "Caber Féigh/[[Cabar Féidh]]." The second was recorded by fiddler John Doherty and appears to be particular to his home County Donegal (see [[O'Halloran's]]), and the third (recorded by County Clare fiddler Bobby Casey and played by many) is a four-strain variation of Caber Féigh/[[Cabar Féidh]], though the last two strains appear to be variations of the second. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh also states that the County Donegal version is different than the "Rakish Paddy" played in the south of Ireland.  


Hartford notes the Flannery family is a large and old one from Elliott County, Kentucky.  Another common story attached to the tune (and told by Alva Greene, for one) is that a man named Flannery dreamed this tune and won a contest with it (Hartford, 1996). Folklorist Steve Green related another apocryphal story he had from collector Bruce Greene about a contest between Kentucky fiddlers J.W. Day and Jim Flannery to see who would run out of tunes first.  
In fact, he traces an unusual version of "Rakish Paddy" from Charlie Doherty, a member of the famous fiddling Doherty family of Donegal, who brought the tune back to Ireland with him from his years in America. Although Charlie’s death from a fall out a second-story window was untimely, the tune was ultimately popularized by the playing of his younger brother John and now is known throughout Donegal.  


Evening wore into night without a clear winner, and, too exhausted to play any more the pair went to sleep. While dozing, Flannery had a dream about being chased by a bear playing a tune.

Irish-American uilleann piper Patsy Touhey was recorded on a cylinder machine by Capt. Francis O'Neill in Chicago playing the tune in 1904. It may be that O'Neill obtained the setting of the tune that appears in his Dance Music of Ireland (1907) from the piper.

Rakish Paddy

Brendan Breathnach (1963, 1971), Robin Williamson (1976) and other knowledgeable musicians generally think the tune, a perennial favorite of performers, originated in Scotland. O'Neill finds that Bremner published it under the title "Caper Fey" (an English corruption of the Gaelic "Caber Féigh/Cabar Féidh," 'the deer's horns') in 1768 in his Second Collection of Scots Reels or Country Dances. "Rakish Paddy" is cited by Cowdery (1990) as the title tune of a dance tune family (including one march version) which includes the alternate titles given above.

There are three distinct versions of the tune, says Cowdery, the first and most common of the three has its two strains corresponding to the Scots "Caber Féigh/Cabar Féidh." The second was recorded by fiddler John Doherty and appears to be particular to his home County Donegal (see O'Halloran's), and the third (recorded by County Clare fiddler Bobby Casey and played by many) is a four-strain variation of Caber Féigh/Cabar Féidh, though the last two strains appear to be variations of the second. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh also states that the County Donegal version is different than the "Rakish Paddy" played in the south of Ireland.

In fact, he traces an unusual version of "Rakish Paddy" from Charlie Doherty, a member of the famous fiddling Doherty family of Donegal, who brought the tune back to Ireland with him from his years in America. Although Charlie’s death from a fall out a second-story window was untimely, the tune was ultimately popularized by the playing of his younger brother John and now is known throughout Donegal.

Flute player Roger Sherlock remembers "Rakish Paddy" was a favorite of uilleann piper Willie Clancy's (Miltown Malbay, County Clare) in the 1950's and 1960's when Clancy joined Sherlock and other Irish émigré musicians for a time in London.
