DOCTOR O'NEILL [2]. AKA and see "Barney O'Neill." Irish, Jig. D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in the music manuscript collection of Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman (1828-1896). Goodman, who spoke Irish and played the uilleann pipes, collected from tradition in Cork and elsewhere in Munster, as well as obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed sources. Francis O'Neill prints a version of the tune as "Barney O'Neill."
