Annotation:Dolly MacDonough
Tune properties and standard notation
DOLLY MACDONOUGH. Irish, Planxty. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is attributed to blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), although Donal O'Sullivan (1958), in his definitive work on the bard could find no incontrovertible evidence of its origin.
Source for notated version: the Forde manuscripts. Ford himself noted it from the playing of piper Patrick Conneely [O'Sullivan]
