N:N: According to my Dineen's, "dreoite" means "withered", but I'm guessing 
N:there's another (maybe local) meaning to the word.

N:N: 1: Doreen (Healy) was Willie's wife. They were married in 1962.
N:N: 2: I'm not sure what type of tune this is intended to be. Quarter notes 
N:and half notes indicate "not-reel" so let's go hornpipe (or barn dance).

S:S: DMWC.89
Z:Z: ABC/arr. BB
N:N: 1: The entire transcription of this tune in DMWC is in cut time. As 
N:accurately as that might capture Willie's piping, it makes for a very unhelpful 
N:ABC playback. I did another setting in straight time that I had hoped would 
N:address the problem, but it still sounds pretty bad. ABC does a lot of things  
N:well but capturing the essence of slow airs isn't one of them.
N:N: 2: Note the irregular structure of this tune: 6 measures first part, 12 measures 
N:second part. Source shows them both repeating and I have followed that here.
