Tune of the Day: Touhey's Favorite Reel
Traditional Irish reel
Taken from Francis O'Neill's Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody (1922), this is “a special setting” from a manuscript of Patrick J. Tuohey's (1865–1923), a gifted Irish piper living in Chicago whom O'Neill called “the genial wizard of the Irish (uilleann) pipes”.
