LONG ISLAND REEL. AKA and see "Green Mountain (2)." American, Reel. The composition is attributed to Clem Titus in Coe's 1875 publication Jigs and Reels, whose full title is: Coe's Album of Jigs and Reels, something new, for professional and amateur violinists, leaders of orchestras, quadrille bands, and clog, reel and jig dancers; consisting of a Grand Collection of entirely New and Original Clog-Hornpipes, Reels, jigs, Scotch Reels, Irish Reels and Jigs, Waltzes, Walk-Arounds, etc. A few of Titus's tunes were also printed in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). The tune is a member of (and perhaps precursor to) the tune family whose most prominent members are "Green Mountain (2)" and "Maid Behind the Bar (1) (The)."
