LITTLE STACK OF BARLEY [1], THE ("An Staicín Beag Orna" or "An Staicín Eorna"). AKA and see "Evening Was Waning," "Little Mary Cassidy," "Patrick Condon's Vision," "Stack of Barley," "Stacks of Barley." Irish, Hornpipe. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The second strain may be in G Major. The title supposedly refers to that part of the barley harvest that was kept aside for the making of potheen. The famous County Sligo émigré fiddler Wikipedia:Michael_Coleman_(Irish_fiddler) (1891-1945) recorded this tune in New York in a medley with "Stack of Wheat (The)." The title appears in a list of Maine fiddler Mellie Dunham's (1856-1931) repertoire. The elderly Dunham was Henry Ford's champion fiddler in the mid-1920's.
