FLORA'S BIRTHDAY. American, Jig. C Major (Howe/1843): D Major (Howe/1867, O'Flannagan). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appaers in a number of Boston publisher Elias Howe's publications, including his 1860 volume by Patrick O'Flannagan (Hibernia Collection), indicating that the tune may have an Irish provenance. The melody was entered as a duet into the music manuscript collection of American musician M.E. Eames, dated Aug. 22nd, 1859 (Eames was probably from Philadelphia, Pa.).
