UGLY CUSTOMER, AN (Rocdaire Granda). AKA and see “After the Hare," "Eleventh of October.” Irish, Reel. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. As "After the Hare" the reel was published in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883), and as "Eleventh of October" in R.M. Levey's Dance Music of Ireland, vol. 2 (1873). The tune also appears as an untitled reel in Brendan Breathnach’s Ceol Rince na hÉireann, vol. 2 (1976, No. 151). The first strain of the strathspey "Dutchess of Atholl's Slipper (The)" is similar, although the second parts differ. The resemblance is perhaps incidental and not cognate.
Source for notated version: Kissane [O'Neill]. Michael Kissane was a member of the Chicago Music Club. He had been a student of blind fiddler Jeremiah Breen of North Kerry, and emigrated to the United States where he became a businessman, "and one of the best Irish fiddlers in the city" [O'Neill, 1913]. Curiously, O'Neill makes little further mention of him in his Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1903). In Chief Francis O'Neill's annual report of 1901 [2] to the Chicago city council, a Michael Kissane is listed as a 4th precinct patrolman who was injured while on duty, but whether this is the same man is unknown.
