BOG OF ALLEN [2], THE. Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Composed by the late Philadelphia, Pa./County Cavan fiddler Ed Reavy (1898-1988). This desolate region was mentioned in James Joyce's piece "The Dead," from The Dubliners. The Bog of Allen covers several hundred square miles in the central lowlands outside Dublin in the east almost to Galway in the west. It encompasses several peat bogs interspersed with patches of cultivable land, and peat is still harvested as a source of fuel. Two canals cross the region, the Grand and Royal.

X:1 T:The Bog of Allen [2] M:2/2 L:1/8 C:Ed Reavy S:The Collected Compostions of Ed Reavy R:Reel N:Mentioned eloquently in Joyce's short story, N:"The Dead" (in Dubliners). This desolate region reminds us of Yeats' N:line "the drifting, indefinite bitterness of life" Ed has always felt N:that far too much is made of Ireland's greenery and not enough said N:of her terrible greyness. Ed has lived to see the whole of Ireland, N:and he has tried to get as much of it as he could into his own tunes.
