%NOTE:
"Coda" is my suggested way of bringing to a conclusion a tune that (1) is circular in construction (2) doesn't end on the tonic note. It's not part of the tune and its use is optional.

H:H: This tune is in the unusual key of "B dorian" (= B minor with G's
sharp.) Since none of those G's is accented, you can get by with playing
G natural and nobody will notice (probably). Or - easy way out - you
can just drop it a step to Ador and replace < G# > with nice friendly
< F# > !

Note on Edward Cronin:
As the Chief mentions in his fascinating sketch of Edward Cronin 
in "Irish Minstrels and Musicians" (p.392), there was "but one rival" 
(not specified but probably Sergeant James O'Neill) for Cronin's 
fiddling abilities in the Chicago traditional music scene. The 
highly-ornamented settings of Cronin's contributions to the various 
collections would seem to bear this out. I have added a simplified 
version of this lovely Cronin tune for those of you not enamored of 
great gobs of triplets (show of hands, please?) I think Mr. Cronin
flourished a few years before recording was a possibility, but I
have to think he might have sounded like Coleman.

H:H: Note that O'Neill's setting of this tune doesn't include repeats. 
Over the years, however, it has become standard practice to "double" 
the parts, in which case the "Sligo" second ending (as played by 
Coleman) shown above may be used.
