Story behind the song
We recently discovered The Old Players while playing through tunes in the Ed Reavy Collection. The Glory Reel comes from the playing of Ciaran O'Maonaigh of Gweedore, west central Donegal. The Wild Irishman exists in a number of different versions. The setting we've chosen is favored in Donegal, and lends itself particularly well to a "reversing" (dropping the octave).
