Source for notated version: uilleann piper Patsy Tuohey [O'Neill]. Tuohey (1865 – 1923) was born near Loughrea, County Galway, although he emigrated to America with his family when still a toddler. Tuohey (whom O'Neill praised as the "genial wizard of the Irish pipers") carved out a career on the vaudeville stage, not only by piping but also performing in skits and comic routines.
