KITTY O'NEILL [4]. AKA and see "Johnny Cronin's Fancy," "Johnny Cronin's Reel," "Cronin's Reel (1)." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. No relation to "Kitty O'Neill (3)." It does, however, resemble "Kitty Sharpe's Champion" aka "Everybody's Fancy." Possibly, O'Neill (who did not list a source) confused the names of the two sand jigs in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) when he published this reel-time setting. A version of the melody can also be found in Harding's Original Collection (1928) set as an untitled dotted-rhythm "straight jig", akin to a hornpipe.
