BUNCH OF KEYS [1], THE. AKA and see: "Ew(i)e wi' the Crooked Horn [1]," "Flowers of Limerick [1]" "The Mills Are Grinding [1]," "Old Town Reel," "Paddy On the Turnpike [2]" (Ryan/Cole), "Telephone Reel," "Yellow Heifer." Irish, Reel. G Dorian (Gm) {Brody}: G Major {O'Neill}: G Major/Mixolydian (Cranitch). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Brody): ABC (O'Neill): AABBCC (Cranitch). The title refers to door keys, or, as Paul de Grae suggests, it may refer to the winged seeds (called keys) of the ash tree (fabled in Irish folklore), which hang in bunches before dropping. The tune was recorded on 78 RPM in 1936 by Sligo/New York fiddler Paddy Killoran, in a medley with "Dublin Reel" and "Miss Thornton."
