REIDY'S REEL. Irish, Reel. G Major (‘A’ part) & D Major (‘B’ part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune is printed by Breathnach (1963) who identifies it as a variant of “Spike Island Lasses (1) (The)” family of tunes, though he thinks the second phrase of the second strain belongs to “Bank of Ireland (1) (The).” O’Neill (1922) remarks: “’Reidy's Reel’ is named after a North Kerry fiddler from whose playing our liberal contributor Mr. Stack learned it in his youth. Altho' reminiscent of other tunes in certain phrases, ‘Reidy's Reel’ was until recently a stranger to Chicago musicians.”
