HUGHIE'S CAP. Irish, Reel. D Minor ('A' part) & D Dorian ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Composed by County Cavan/Philadelphia fiddler and composer Ed Reavy (1898-1988). Hughie, according to a story by Reavy, was an easygoing character who could look particularly menacing when he wore a particular cap, and when intimidation was needed apparently Hughie was the man to call.
