Another Scully Casey's?

Just got this. I see there are two other Scully Casey's in the database. I've been told that it has been recorded by the Kane sisters. I've also been told that Scully casey was Bobby Casey's Da

I know this tune as Brian O'Lynn and a different version of the tune was already posted on this site: http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/830 I don't know which was originally standard, but this version is probably more popular since Kevin Crawford and Martin Hayes recorded it together.

Not "The Tenpenny Bit"

I experienced a bit of confusion with this tune. Listening to John and Julia Clifford’s cassette “The Humours of Lisheen” on side 2, track 3, I recognized the second tune of the set, named “The Ducks and the Oats” on the recording, as as the same as one I learned from Yvonne Kane as “The Tenpenny Bit”.

http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/4180

I even added Ducks/Oats as an alternate names for that tune. The friend who’d lent the cassette pointed out that she’d learned the FIRST tune in the set, named on the recording as “John Mahinney’s No. 2”, as “The Ducks and the Oats” from both Liz and Yvonne Kane. This submission is from my friend’s transcription (she’s a lurker here and prefers to remain anonymous). Also, there’s a setting of this tune from Denis Murphy in the Breandan Breathnach Ceol Rince na hEireann Book 5, tune number 58, also named “The Ducks and the Oats”. I think the best conclusion is that the notes on the album are in error. Denis Murphy had a verse with this tune, beginning:

“The ducks in the oats and no-one to turn them,
Ó, muise, Dia linn, what will we do with 'em...”
