Fiddle solo, piano - Tom McSharry, Copley 9-114. Seamus Ennis learned the first tune from Cronin's teacher Padraig O'Keefe, and Seamus gave it the title O'Keefe's Plough. The second reel seems like a fiddle tune that passed through the hands of a flautist or piper, the melody has a drive to go beneath middle D but instead plays notes in the upper range of the first octave.
