Rakish Paddy

X:4
T:Rakish Paddy
B:Ceol Rince na heireann I, no. 145
N:translation of note in Irish: "This is originally Scottish.  O'Neill says
N:that Bremner published it in the year 1768 under the name 'Caper Fey'
N:in the 'Second Collection of Scots Reels or Country Dances' and that
N:it was usual for the correct version of the name, 'Cabair Fe/igh' or
N:'The Deer's Horns', to be used in books of music for the Highland
N:pipes ['don phi'ob mho/r'].  He is wrong in saying that a version of
N:this reel is 'Sporting Pat' [O'Neill's 'Irish Music' no. 297].  That reel
N:is much closer to 'The Copperplate' than to 'Rakish Paddy' [O'Neill's
N:'Waifs & Strays...', no. 269].  Other names for this tune are 'The Castle
N:Street Reel' and 'Glastertown's Downfall'."
