GREEN LINNET [1], THE (An Gealban-Lion Glas). AKA and see "Glenlivet (2)." Irish, Reel. A Mixolydian (O'Neill/Krassen): A Major. (O'Neill/1850). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (O'Neill/1850): AABB' (O'Neill/Krassen). We do not know from what source James O'Neill obtained this particularly Scottish-sounding tune (a portion of his repertoire was had from his father in northern Ireland), however, it is note-for-note the Scottish tune "Glenlivet (2)," printed by James Kerr (c. 1875).

Source for notated version: Chicago Police Sergeant James O'Neill, a fiddler originally from County Down and Francis O'Neill's collaborator [O'Neill].

Printed sources: O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; p. 107. O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 1262, p. 237.
