MALLOY'S FAVORITE (Rogha Uí Mhaolmhuaidh). AKA and see "Mulloy's Reel," "Molloy's Favourite (2)." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Breathnach (1985) transcribed Michael Coleman's setting from a privately made 1940 recording reissued by Shanachie (see below) and noted that the tune is related to "Colonel Fraser," one of a family of tunes that includes "Green Fields of Ireland." The tune was first recorded for Columbia as "Dowd's Favorite" by fiddler James (Jim) Clark (1887-1938) of Drumlish, Co. Longford, in October, 1928. That name is usually associated with a different tune recorded by Michael Coleman, but may indicate that Clark was crediting the Sligo fiddler John O'Dowd, one of Coleman's mentors, as the source. Longford/New York fiddler Paddy Reynolds (1920-2005) gave the name to New York musician Don Meade as "Col. Fraser's Maggot."
