Back to Irish-American Reel (2) (The)

IRISH-AMERICAN [2], THE. AKA and see "Abbey Reel," "Drag Her Around the Road (2)," "Moher Reel (The)," "Reddigan's," AKA - "The American Reel." Irish, Reel. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle) (fiddle). AA'B.

Source for notated version: New Jersey flute player Mike Rafferty [Harker]. Rafferty was born in Ballinakill, east Co. Galway, in 1926, and emigrated to the United States in 1949. He was taught the wooden flute by his father, who was nicknamed Barrel because people thought he could fill a barrel with wind, and he was a mainstay of the east coast Irish music scene until his death in Sept., 2011.

Printed sources: Harker (300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty), 2005; No. 45, p. 14.

Standard tuning (fiddle) (fiddle). AA'B. In 1936 fiddler Peter Duschenes recorded the tune under the title "[[Reel des moissonneurs (2)]]" on Starr 16407 (79 RPM). The title is usually applied to another Quebecois reel (see "[[Reel des moissonneurs (1)]]"), and Duschenes' use of it for "Irish-American Reel" seems unique.
