GUEST,Phil d'Conch Tune Req: Irish Tune from Daniel Boone Series (24) RE: Tune Req: Irish Tune from Daniel Boone Series 16 Oct 23


With a shout out to my 5g grandmother, Daniel's sister, Sarah. That branch of the tree is Cornish & Welsh.

The show was highly fictionalized with very little historical accuracy. [wiki]

That said, according to Hoyle, Garryowen is for the lyrics. A period fife tune “might” be Auld Bessie, pushing it back to a more plausible c.1780.
