LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP. AKA and see "Steward's Lodge Song." English, Air (4/4 time). C Major (Howe): D Major (O'Flannagan). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The air is quite old and was printed with words to a song (as "Love and Friendship") in John Watts' Musicial Miscellany vol. 6 (London, 1735, 40-43). James Aird printed it as "Steward's Lodge Song" at the end of the 18th century. Fr. John Quinn finds a somewhat distanced version as an untitled tune in the large c. 1883 music manuscript collection (p. 65, No. 217) of fiddler biography:Stephen Grier (c.1824-1894, of Newpark, Bohey, Gortletteragh, Co. Leitrim).
