GEORGE REYNOLDS. Irish, Planxty (6/8 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). George Reynolds was from Letterfian, near Lough Scur, County Leitrim, and was one of the first to encourage Carolan in composition, according to O'Sullivan, with the well-known "Sheebeg and Sheemore" the result.
