{{TuneAnnotation |f_tune_annotation_title= https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Glen_Road_to_Carrick_(The) > |f_annotation=GLEN ROAD TO CARRICK, THE (Bóthair an Ghleanna go dtí an Charraig). AKA and see "Chorus Reel," "On the Road (2)," "On the Road from Glen to Carrick." Irish, Reel. Ireland, Donegal. D Mixolydian/Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BCDE (Armagh Pipers): ABCCDE (Breathnach): ABB'CDEE' (Feldman & O'Doherty). A popular reel in County Donegal. According to Caoimhin Mac Aoidh (1994) lore has it that Donegal fiddler John Doherty associated the naming of the tune to his uncles from the McConnell family who were travelling tinkers. The tune is based on (and somewhat distanced from) the "Chorus Reel" (AKA "Chorus Jig (1)," a reel despite the title) and is said to have had additional parts added by John Mhosai Mac Fionnlaigh. Elsewhere in his work Mac Aoidh states that composition has been credited to John Mhosai (Mac Fhionnlaioch), born c. 1840's. The alternate title is said to commemorate the location of his family home. Paddy Cronin recorded the tune on a 78 RPM under the title "Doon Reel No. 2." See also the related "Doon Reel (3) (The)" and the "Kilfenora Jig (1)."
