Mamma's Pet, My Love is On the Ocean

About this film

Irish bagpipes and accordion, Gennet 5054, John Muller - piano. Mam(m)a's Pet was also recorded around this time by fiddler Michael Coleman in great style. In O'Neill's this is called Timothy Downing's, after one of O'Neill's boyhood instructors; in the later book Waifs and Strays of Gaelic melody he also prints "Mama's Pet" from Mayo fiddler John McFadden. A Galway version was recorded by fiddle/flute player Gabe O'Sullivan on the 70s LP Joe and the Gabe, on the Green Linnet label. The second tune is the familiar reel My Love is in America, perhaps retitled as a bit of wit. It is also of note that Coleman's first record had a medley, "Redie Johnson's reels."
