BUCKS OF WESTMEATH, THE (Oganaig Iarinide). Irish, Single Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC.

Source for notated version: 'Delaney' [O'Neill]. O'Neill refers to 'quiet and unassuming' uilleann piper Bernard "Barney" Delaney, originally from Tullamore, who emigrated in 1880. Delaney purchased a set of pipes made by the great Philadelphia, Pa., pipemaker Billy Taylor, where the former worked prior to moving to Chicago. After 24 years service Delaney retired in 1912 with a pension in to a home at Ocean Springs, Mississippi, on the Gulf of Mexico.
