Whenever I hear it, this cheerful wee number immediately conjures up Cathal McConnell live for me! It's a smashin vision so it is!

News to me....

I've never come across "Master" Crowley's in Bm. Usually E dorian these days, but I first heard Roy Gullane of the "Tannahill Weavers" play it on banjo in the 1970s in D dorian, and that was the common key for it in those days, in the UK, anyway.
As for this particular "Crowley's", I recommend the version recorded by Finbar Furey, and also Matt Molloy as a solo on one of the Chieftains records, I seem to remember.
