GREEN PIGEON, THE (An Colúr Glas). AKA - "Blue Pigeon (The)." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Breathnach's source had no name for the tune, although the collector had found a version of it in the Goodman manuscripts (c. 1860's, southwest Munster), under the title "Green Pi(d)geon." The melody appears as "The Blue Pi(d)geon" in Book 2 of the c. 1883 music manuscript collection of County Leitrim fiddler and piper biography:Stephen Grier.
