Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. It has been said that the tune was composed around 1960 by fiddler Seán Ryan as "McMahon's" and it does appear in Brian Ryan's collection of the compositions of his father, a volume entitled '''The Hidden Ireland'''. It appears in Bulmer & Sharpley ('''Music from Ireland, vol. 1''') as "[[Seán Ryan's]]." However, in Cyril Maguire's collection called '''The Hidden Fermanagh''' (2003) it is attributed to County Fermanagh flute player James McMahon (and appears as "James McMahon's Hornpipe"). The tune, points out Cork musician Paul De Grae, sits well on the flute, and, suggests Paul, it is possible that in publishing the posthumous collection, it was among Seán's papers and was simply assumed to be an original. The "[[Trip to Vermont]]" title comes from a 1974 album by Seamus Cooley and fiddler Johnny McGreevey, while the "[[Paddy O'Brien's]]" title is from a 1958 field recording of accordion player Jimmy Hogan made by Peter Kennedy. | |||
