BRYAN O'LYNN [1] (Briain Ua Rloinn). AKA and see "Banks of Lough Gowna (2)," "Brian O'Lynn," "Cockled Old Man (1) (The)," "Eamonn a' Chnoic," "Emon Acnuck," "Geese in the Bog (3)," "Hitler's Downfall," "Humors of Ballinafad," "Planting Stick (The)." Irish, Double Jig. A Dorian (Harker/Rafferty, Mitchell, O'Neill/Krassen): A Minor (O'Neill/1850). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (Mitchell): AABB (Miller & Perron, O'Neill). The alternate title "Planting Stick (The)" comes from a dance performed to the melody in the Province of Connacht in olden times which pantomimed the process of planting cabbages or potatoes with a stick. English morris dance tradition has a stylized imitation of the work in "Bean Setting." "Hitler's Downfall" is the title County Galway fiddler Martin Byrnes had for the tune. See also the related "Cailín gan Chiall (a girl without sense)," "Guiry's Favorite" and "Maiden that Jigs it in Style," "Petticoat Loose (1)."
