Annotation:Johnny from Gandsey
Tune properties and standard notation
JOHNNY FROM GANDSEY. AKA and see "John o' Badenyond." Irish, Scottish; Reel. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Joyce's version was collected from his own experience as it was a favourite reel learned in his childhood in Limerick in the early 19th century. Bayard (1981) believes it may have been derived from the older tune "Logan Water." See also Arty McGlynn's tune "Lead the Knave," remarkably similar.
