TERRY “CUZ” TEEHAN’S BARNDANCE [1]. AKA - "Frank Thornton's," "Kerry Reel." Irish, Barn Dance or Fling (cut time). E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB’. This fling or barn dance melody was composed by Terence "Cuz" Teahan in 1979. Teahan was born in Sliabh Luachra, County Kerry, where he was a student of peripatetic fiddle master Padraig O'Keeffe. A one-row melodeon and concertina player, he later became a senior member of Chicago's Irish music and dance scene.
