S:”Michael Buckley Shanahan.”
N:Reidy's primary title "Irishman's Heart to the Ladies" usually refers
N:to a different 6/8 time tune.
S:P.D. Reidy music manuscript collection, London, 1890’s (No. 19)
N:”Professor” Patrick Reidy of Castleisland was a dancing
N:master engaged by the Gaelic League in London to teach
N:dance classes. He introduced “Siege of Ennis” and “Walls
N:of Limerick” ceili dances and wrote a treatise on dancing.
N:Reidy told O’Neill that his source, Shanahan was a “celebrated
N:violinist”, the son of a piper born in Kilrush, Co. Clare, with a
N:great reputation in Kerry and Limerick in the 1860’s. It is unclear
N:where Shanahan was in relation to his acquaintance with Reidy
N:(i.e. in London or Ireland).
