AKA and see: "Ewe with the Crooked Horn (3) (The)," "Flowers of Limerick (1) (The)" "Lady Elmer’s Reel," "Mills are Grinding (1) (The)," "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). A member of a tune family that goes by a variety of titles, set in modes from major (ionian) to dorian, and sometimes in mixed modes. 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 (The)" and "Miss Thornton." See also the Scottish "Old Reel (The)."
