BASHFUL BACHELOR [2], THE (An Baitsiléir Cúthail). AKA and see "Obelisk Hornpipe," "Shaw's Reel," "Where Did You Find Her? (2)" "Wily Old Bachelor (The)." Irish (originally), Canadian; Hornpipe. Canada, Prince Edward Island. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A different tune than O'Neill's "Bashful Bachelor (1) (The)." "Where Did You Find Her? (2)" is related to "Bashful Bachelor (2)" only in the second part. "Bashful Bachelor (3)" also shares a similar second strain. The first strain is also a "detached" or 'floating' strain, and appears in the "Norfolk Hornpipe (1)" and "Men from Ulster (The)," and, in somewhat less similar way, in "Whiddon's Hornpipe." "Doucette's Reel", from Prince Edward Island, also seems related.
