“This tune was composed by renowned Irish fretted-instruments player Arty McGlynn, celebrated for his innovative work on guitar within traditional Irish music. Music scholar Henrik Norbeck has observed that the melody bears a striking resemblance to a traditional tune titled ‘Johnny from Gandsey,’ which appears in the Joyce collection—a notable compilation of Irish music. The similarity suggests that McGlynn may have drawn inspiration from older sources, either consciously or through the deep well of traditional influences that shape much of Irish music.”
