FAIR AND FORTY ("Deatamuil's Daficad" or "Daichead is Dathuil"). AKA and see "Cale Smith's Pastime," "Seven Up." Irish; Reel and Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill/1850): AA'B (O'Neill/Krassen): AABB (Breathnach, O'Neill/1001). The tune is rendered as a hornpipe as well as a reel. It was printed prior to O'Neill in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) under the titles "Cale Smith's Pastime" and "Seven Up." Some similarities in the first strain to that of O'Neill's "Whistling Mike."
