This is my recollection of a fairly common reel.  I was asked to record this one and I has taken me that long to do so that I can't even remember when I was asked.  Maybe I wasn't asked at all.  I think I have at least one other reel I'm meant to be putting on as well.  Once I improve the organisational state of my life even to the lower reaches of chaos I will do the other tune too.

Here's another Paddy Ryan's Dream.  Mr. Ryan must have been some sleeper.

I think this one is close to the version that John Doherty used to call "Mooney's Reel".

Here's my attempt to play this tune as requested to do so.  I'm not too familiar with playing it on a flute and I fear that my playing may be straying in the direction of being the sort of dream Paddy Ryan, or anyone else for that matter, may get after consuming too much cheese at bedtime.

I know a different version of this tune which I'll maybe try once this one I've woken up from this one

This is a very popular reel which I just remembered I hadn't played on this site yet.  I'm running out of popular tunes to play by this stage so when I do recall one I get a temporary happiness boost which is most welcome, especially on a dark Sunday evening like this one.  I try not to remember tunes on Friday afternoons as happiness boosts on those occasions would send me over.

 I'm not sure about the two names this reel gets called by.  I suppose when someone wasn't able to remember one of them then the other sprang to their mind as an obvious alternative.

I think that daycaps, mornigcaps and other headgear have left me vexed and clueless regarding the name of this reel.

It was recorded by Michael Coleman around 80 years ago. I don't think he had a name for it. I'm not sure where this name came out of but it conjures up some interesting images though I can't quite tell what they are of.

I was asked to record this which is a good thing as otherwise my memory wouldn't have stumbled upon it. Now my mental recall has been provoked, I hope this is the same Reel of Rio that got lost in it years ago.

I don't know what the "Rio" in question is. Maybe its just that the name sounds better that "The Reel of Lagan".

Here's the one which comes after the one which I haven't posted yet.  This one and the one which isn't here are tunes from Fermanagh.
