BALTIMORE REEL. AKA - "Baltimore Lady." Irish, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Breathnach obtained the tune as in untitled reel in in Book 1 of the large 1883 music manuscript of County Leitrim fiddler and uilleann piper biography:Stephen Grier, where it was entered as an untitled reel (No. 8). Curiously, another untitled reel a little further in Grier's Book 1 (No. 16) shares the same first strain, buth the second strain is different.
