Tune properties and standard notation
FARRELL O'GARA'S FAVORITE REEL. AKA and see "Last Night in Leadville," "Last Night's Fun (1)," "Macroom Lasses (The)," "Old Joe Sife's Reel," "Stick it in the Ashes." AKA - "Farrell O'Gara Schottische." Irish, Reel or Schottische. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. See also "More Power to Your Elbow" in O'Neill for a version in the key of 'G' major, and Coleman's "Killarney Wonder Schottische (1)." This is not the "Farrell O'Gara" reel famously recorded by Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945) in 1927 in New York, but rather the first tune in his "Killarney Wonder" set (recorded 1924), where it is called "Farrell O'Gara Schottische."
