Julia Delaney

This is an Irish reel, possibly written or named for a relative of Captain O'Neill. We hear it played frequently at jam sessions and at contradances. It's nice played slower, like an air... and also fun at dance tempo. Try it, and let us know how you like it!

For Sheet Music, click HERE. The tune can also be found in the Portland Collection (first volume, also known in some circles as "The Blue Book" or PC1)
