Notation
Note: The tunes below are recorded in what
is called “abc notation.” They
can easily be converted to standard musical notation via highlighting with
your cursor starting at “X:1” through to the end of the abc’s, then
“cutting-and-pasting” the highlighted notation into one of the many abc
conversion programs available, or at concertina.net’s incredibly handy “ABC
Convert-A-Matic” at http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html **Please note that the abc’s in the Fiddler’s
Companion work fine in most abc conversion programs. For example, I use
abc2win and abcNavigator 2 with no problems whatsoever with direct
cut-and-pasting. However, due to an anomaly of the html, pasting the abc’s
into the concertina.net converter results in double-spacing. For
concertina.net’s conversion program to work you must remove the spaces
between all the lines of abc notation after pasting, so that they are
single-spaced, with no intervening blank lines. This being done, the F/C
abc’s will convert to standard notation nicely. Or, get a copy of
abcNavigator 2 – its well worth it.

FARMER HAD A DOG. AKA and see "Too
Young to Marry [1]," "My Love Is/She's but a

American, Reel. D Major. ADae. AB. Bronner (1987) states that this tune may
have some ties with the play‑party tune "Bingo" (from the
opening line "There was a farmer who had a dog"), but the melody of
that simple tune bears little resemblance to the one he collected from Kouf.
Kouf's father, from whom he learned the tune, may have elaborated
"Bingo" for use as a dance tune, but at any rate the tune was known
among Tompkins County, New York, fiddlers of Kouf younger's generation by the
title "Farmer Had a Dog." Bronner connects the tune with the "Mason's Apron"/"Wake Up Susan" family of tunes.

they came from a common origin, along with “McKenna’s

AKA and see "Falcarragh Reel," "Faral O'Gara,” "Fearghal Ó

Reel. D Major. Standard tuning. AAB (Miller & Perron): AABB’ (O’Malley). A
very popular session tune. Brendan Breathnach (1963) remarks that it has been
said that the Farrell O’Gara of the title was Lord Moy O’Gara who gave shelter
to the Four Masters. A Scottish variant goes by the title “Last Night’s Fun” in
Kerr’s Merry Melodies (c. 1886)—the same tune and title is printed in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883) along
with the variants “Old Joe Sife’s” and “Pretty Jane.” “Farrell O’Gara” was
recorded several times during the 78 RPM era by the great New York City based
Sligo fiddlers: Michael Coleman recorded it in 1927 (paired with “Good Morning
to Your Nightcap”), James Morrison under the title “Roderick,” and Paddy
Killoran as “Shannon’s Favorite.” See also the recording below by John McGrath,

FAS(H)IONABLE LOVER. English. England, Northumberland.
One of the "missing tunes" from William Vickers' 1770 Northumbrian
dance tune manuscript.

England, Yorkshire. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Source for notatated

Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning. AAB (Tubridy): AABB (Allan,
Harker/Rafferty, Mallinson, Mulvihill, O’Neill): AA’BB’ (Mitchell). The curious
title variant “Fasten the Leg in Her,” often used since the melody appeared in
O’Neill’s under that title, is perhaps a reference to horse racing, but may
also be a garbled version (or vice versa) of “Fasten the Wig on Her” or perhaps
“Fasten the Legging” (referring to an article of clothing). Of course, it may
be a double entendre title. The tune was once very popular, and was recorded by
famed Irish-American piper Patsy Tuohey on a cylinder in 1919, and in the 78
RPM era by County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945) in New York (c.
1924). Sources for notated versions: piper Willie Clancy (1918-1973, Miltown
