BEAMISH'S GOAT (Gabar Beamais). Irish, Reel. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Beamish's Goat" was collected by O'Neill from Beamish himself who was from an adjoining parish to the one Captain Francis O'Neill hailed from in County Cork. Despite this contiguousness, and despite the fact that they were contemporaries in age, the two men learned substantially different musical repertoires from their respective birthplaces. O'Neill recorded in Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby (1910):
Abram Sweetman Beamish, of Chicago, from whom we obtained the Buachaillin Ban, or the "Fairhaired Boy," "My Darling Asleep," and the "Knee-buckle" jigs, also the "Skibbereen Lasses," "Tie the Bonnet," "Dandy Denny Cronin" and the "Humors of Schull" reels, was a native of a parish adjoining the parish of Caheragh, in which the writer was born. Our ages are equal and we left Ireland about the same time, yet I never heard in my youth any of the tunes above named. The first and fifth only were known to the local musicians. Similarly most of my tunes were unfamiliar to Mr. Beamish.
"Beamish's Goat" is a two-part version of the tune family that includes "Jolly Tinker (2) (The)" and the "Timpan Reel." O'Neill corrected the version he printed in Music of Ireland (1903) for his later Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems collection (1907).
