BUSH IN BLOOM, THE (An Tom Faoi Blat). Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Malley, O'Neill, Roche): AABB (Allan's).

Sources for notated version: students of New York fiddler John McGrath (1900-1955, originally from County Mayo) [O'Malley]; "McFadden" [O'Neill], referring to fiddler John McFadden, originally from Carrowmore, near Westport, County Mayo, whose playing O'Neill greatly admired (and who, alluded O'Neill, was kept on a sinecure by the City of Chicago due to his political connections in the Irish-American community).
