MERRY SISTERS, THE (Na Deirbsiuiraca Sugaca). AKA and see "Cross Road (1)," "Miltown Maid (1) (The)," "Mill Town Maid," "Three Merry Sisters of Fate (The)." Irish, Reel. Ireland, Counties Sligo, Donegal. A Dorian (Brody): E Dorian (Flaherty, O'Neill). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABC (Brody): AA'BC (Flaherty): AA'BC (O'Neill/1001): AA'BCC' (O'Neill/Krassen). A popular reel in County Donegal. An early recording of the melody was by Frank O'Higgins (1891-1975), a fiddler from Glenamona, Kilskeer, County Meath, in Dublin in 1937 who paired it with "Dogs Among the Bushes (The)" and "Kitty Gone a Milking," still a widely imitated pairing (Donegal fiddler John Doherty, for example, played the medley). Paddy Ryan, writing in Treoir, says O'Higgins "was a highly esteemed figure in traditional music circles in and around Dublin. He also taught the fiddle for many years and, among his star pupils was Larry Redican, who was prominent in New York traditional music circles during his lifetime there." The reel was also in the repertoire of uilleann piper Séamus Ennis, who also may have learned it from O'Higgins, as his father, James Ennies played with O'Higgins in The Fingal Trio.
