SHE'S A DAUGHTER OF DANIEL O'CONNELL (Is Ingean Domnaill ui Connaill i). AKA "Is ingean Domnaill Uí Connaill i." Irish, Slow Air (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Paul de Grae finds that Francis O'Neill had written to A.P. Graves that the air was "uncommon if not unknown," a curious assertion when the air is fairly well known bing the vehicle for "Maid with the Bonny Brown Hair," and, in modern times, Con Fada O Drisceoil's "Spoons Murder." Further, de Grae finds variants in P.W. Joyce's "High-Flier (The)", and, in minor mode, "Woods of Kilmurray (The)"^[1].
