Tom Morrison
This tune goes way back to at least the 1920's or 30's when flute player Tom Morrison recorded it with Maggie in the Woods. Morrison played it more like a Connaught polka as opposed to a barndance and in a slightly different version, though definitely the same tune. I must have picked up the file on the internet, there doesn't seem to be a name on the tune in my iTunes library. I wonder do Quinn and Hastings cite Morrison as their source. Any sleeve note information from album gian, that you can supply?
