The Dooney Rock (jig)

This is another Sean Ryan jig, which the Tap Room Trio and Providence recorded. I don't know much about this tune except its composer, but a bit of research shows that it is in Breathnach's Ceol Rince Vol 3.

Often played after "The High Part of the road" which is also a composition of Sean Ryan.

Is it?

So I've heard anyway.

The person that told me it was said she taught it was. She thinks she's wrong though after being quizzed on it last week.

Not sure Sean Ryan wrote...

'The High Part of the Road', 52Paddy - I think it would have appeared in one of the two books of his compositions.

Somebody wrote it, that's for sure. Either that or it was made up. 8)
