LONG AND SLENDER SALLY, THE. Irish, Reel. Ciaran Carson mentions the tune in his book Last Night's Fun (1996), played in a set with "Johnny Going to Céilí" and "Gossan that Beat His Father (The)," obtained from flute player Cathal McConnell "of Ballanaleck on the shores of Lough Erne." Carson thought McConnell had the set from the late John Magure, father of fiddle 'maestro' Sean McGuire [sic].
