CHARLIE McDEVITT'S. Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by County Cavan/Philadelphia fiddler and compser Ed Reavy (1898-1988). McDevitt was a fiddler from Donegal who would visit from time to time with Reavy. Ed's son Joseph Reavy remembers that he had "a great head for music but not the hands to match. Trying to finger a difficult passage he was often heard to exclaim, 'They won't go down!'.
