Warner Walton tells the (rather apocryphal) story that Flannery was a Revolutionary War fiddler who was under a sentence of death. The commanding officer, knowing he could play, agreed to set him free if Flannery could play him a tune he hadn't heard. Flannery dreamt this tune the night before his scheduled execution.

John Hartford pointed out that Flannery may have been a Civil War figure rather than a Revolutionary War soldier, and, in any case, the story is quite similar to one told about West Virginia's Solly Carpenter (see note for "annotation:Camp Chase (2)").

Hartford notes the Flannery family is a large and old one from Elliott County, Kentucky. Another common story attached to the tune (and told by Alva Greene, for one) is that a man named Flannery dreamed this tune and won a contest with it (Hartford, 1996). Folklorist Steve Green related another apocryphal story he had from collector Bruce Greene about a contest between Kentucky fiddlers J.W. Day and Jim Flannery to see who would run out of tunes first.

Evening wore into night without a clear winner, and, too exhausted to play any more the pair went to sleep. While dozing, Flannery had a dream about being chased by a bear playing a tune.

Flannery, upon waking, recalled the tune and called it "Flannery's Dream," promptly played it and was declared the victor in the competition.

Catherine inherited the barony of Ogle (she was the 8th Baroness), which then passed into the Cavendish family.

It was in the repertoire of regionally influential fiddler Ed Haley (1885-1951) according to northeast Kentucky fiddler J.P. Fraley[1] (1923-2011).

-The air was credited to Irish harper Rory dall O'Cahan by William Grattan Flood, the Irish antiquarian in his History of Irish Music. Rory dall spent most of his life in Scotland between 1601 and 1650, known to the court of King James in that country; despite this Flood seems anxious to claim the melody as Irish in origin.
+Warner Walton tells the (rather apocryphal) story that Flannery was a Revolutionary War fiddler who was under a sentence of death. The commanding officer, knowing he could play, agreed to set him free if Flannery could play him a tune he hadn't heard. Flannery dreamt this tune the night before his scheduled execution.
-Unfortunately, Grattan Flood's work tends to be error-prone, and it is hard to credit any unsubstantiated assertions with much veracity. "Katherine Ogle" (there are numerous spelling variations) appears earliest in the Scottish '''Panmure Manuscript''' #9454, c. 1675, '''Seventy Seven Dances, Songs and Scots Airs for the Violin''', and was printed under this title in the Appendix (written in 1688) to Playford's '''Dancing Master''' of 1686 (a note called it "a new dance"). On the strength of the Playford publication in the '''Dancing Master''', 1686 edition, the English collector Chappell (1859) disputes the claim of Scottish ancestry.
+John Hartford pointed out that Flannery may have been a Civil War figure rather than a Revolutionary War soldier, and, in any case, the story is quite similar to one told about West Virginia's Solly Carpenter (see note for "[[annotation:Camp Chase (2)]]").
-Chappell (1859), in fact, takes virulent exception to Stenhouse's scholarship regarding this tune after the latter claimed that the air was Scottish and dated it from the year 1680 (when it was sung by Mr. John Abell at a concert in Stationers' Hall). Chappell found that the only date Abell could possibly have sung it was in 1702, and he states that the earliest printing was in the Appendix to the 7th edition of Playford's '''Dancing Master''' of 1686 (where it appears under the title "Lady Catherine Ogle"); Chappell, who claimed many Irish and Scottish airs as English, was evidently unaware of the version in the '''Panmure Manuscript''' when he accused Stenhouse of being deliberately misleading regarding its national origin. John Glen (1891 and 1900) also disagrees with Chappell, noting that Chappell's own source, John Playford, published the tune a year before it was mentioned in '''The Dancing Master's''' appendix (1688) in '''Apollo's Banquet''' (5th edition, 1687) where it is called a "Scotch Tune" in footnotes and in fact appears under the title "A Scotch Tune" only. O'Farrell (c. 1806) also listed the melody as "Scotch." J.M. Wood ('''The Popular Songs and Melodies of Scotland''', 1887) also concluded it was Scottish, "from internal evidence."
+Hartford notes the Flannery family is a large and old one from Elliott County, Kentucky.  Another common story attached to the tune (and told by Alva Greene, for one) is that a man named Flannery dreamed this tune and won a contest with it (Hartford, 1996). Folklorist Steve Green related another apocryphal story he had from collector Bruce Greene about a contest between Kentucky fiddlers J.W. Day and Jim Flannery to see who would run out of tunes first.
-It appears in one of the earliest Scottish fiddler's manuscript repertory books, c. 1705, in the private collection of Frances Collinson (1971). Early Scottish manuscript versions include the '''Guthrie Manuscript''' (c. 1680), the '''Panmure Violin 1 Manuscript''' (c. 1670's), and the '''Leyden Manuscript''' (c. 1692, though not the exact version given by Playford). The air appears in full in the '''Guthrie Manuscript''' (c. 1680's), which was named for Covenanting minister James Guthrie of Stirling, beheaded in 1661 for publishing a seditious pamphlet; it appears in a section of music inserted later in a book of his sermons.
+Evening wore into night without a clear winner, and, too exhausted to play any more the pair went to sleep. While dozing, Flannery had a dream about being chased by a bear playing a tune.
-Mary Anne Alburger points out that he was probably no lover of dance music, and that it is possible someone sewed the music into Guthrie's book as a joke.
+Flannery, upon waking, recalled the tune and called it "'''Flannery's Dream'''," promptly played it and was declared the victor in the competition.
