New Jersey accordion player Luke O'Malley credits Irish accordion players Joe Cooley and Paddy O’Brien for popularizing the reel in the New York area, when they were living in the United States. Paddy O’Brien (1922-91) had famously recorded the tune (paired with "[[Yellow Tinker (The)]]") for Columbian Records in Newtown, Co.

SALLY GARDENS [1], THE (Na Garranta Sailí). Irish, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (most versions): AA’BB’ (O’Malley, Perlman). A once popular Irish session tune, widely disseminated, although overplaying has diminished its appeal to many. The name “Sally Garden” is a 17th century variation of 'sallow garden', the term for a willow garden. The name ‘sally’ is derived either from the Latin name salix or salyx, meaning willow (‘aspirin’, or acetylsalicylic acid, was developed from an investigation of the folk remedy of chewing willow shoots to relieve pain), or from the Gaelic word for the plant, sailleach (which itself may have been derived from the Latin). A sally garden was kept as a source for willow sprouts or osiers used in making wicker baskets, furniture and other household items but it also sometimes served as a trysting place for lovers. The theory is that over the years ‘sally garden’ was personified into the object of desire, “Sally Gardens;” a woman’s name (see also related meanings for the American tune “Sally in the Garden”).
New Jersey accordion player Luke O'Malley credits Irish accordion players Joe Cooley and Paddy O’Brien for popularizing the reel in the New York area, when they were living in the United States. Paddy O’Brien (1922-91) had famously recorded the tune on 78 RPM (paired with "Yellow Tinker (The)") for Columbian Records in Newtown, Co. Tipperary, in January, 1954, on the then-new B/C accordion system (the side was released in 1955). The Tulla Céilí Band recorded "Sally Gardens" in 1956 on 78 RPM for the HMV label. Martin Mulhaire was the accordion player with the Tulla Céilí Band in 1957 after having been asked by Paddy Canney and P.J. Hayes to join for a tour of England.
