"My Love is in America", in Gaelic "Tá Mo Gradsa Ann America", is also known as "Dandy Apron",<br> "Jenny Lind's Reel", "Corney is Coming", "The Bride's to Bed", "My Love is in the House",<br> "Six Mile Bridge", "Crawford's Reel", "Kelly's Reel", "Miss Wilson", "The Barrack Street Boys",<br> "I Saw Her", "Cheese It", "Shannon Breeze", "Merry Bits of Timber", "My Love is in the Bronx",<br> "Knit the Pocky" or "The British Naggon" is an Irish reel in D Major (Allan, Cole, Kerr,<br> Roche): D Mixolydian (O'Neill): D Mixolydian {'A' part} & D Major {'B' part} (Breathnach,<br> Harker/Rafferty, Mitchell, Taylor). The parts are played AB (Allan, Mitchell, O'Neill, Roche):<br> AAB (Kerr): AABB (Breathnach, Cole, Taylor): AA’BB’ (Harker/Rafferty).<br> The earliest printing of this very<br> popular reel appears to be in Levey's Dance Music of Ireland, 2nd Collection (1873),<br> wherein it is set as a hornpipe. Similar melodies are the "The Collier's (Reel)" and the jig<br> “Do You Want Anymore”. Neil Mulligan remarks that American musicians in the early 20th century<br> called the reel “My Love is On the Ocean”. O'Sullivan (1983) notes a curious relationship with<br> another reel called "The Dunmore Lasses"; they are nearly mirror images of each other, except<br> one is transposed down one step though in the same key signature.<br> It was printed in Breathnach's CRÉ II (1976),<br> Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940), Harker's 300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty (2005),<br> Kerr's Merry Melodies, Levey's The Dance Music of Ireland, 2nd Collection (1873),<br> Mitchell's Dance Music of Willie Clancy (1993), Krassen's O'Neill (1976),<br> O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903/1979),<br> O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907/1986),<br> Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883), Taylor's Crossroads Dance (1992) and<br> Taylor's Traditional Irish Music: Karen Tweed’s Irish Choice (1994).<br> It was recorded by Bobby Casey on Casey in the Cowhouse (1992),<br> Néillidh Mulligan on The Leitrim Thrush,<br> Willie Clancy on The Pipering of Willie Clancy, Vol. 1 (1980), Karen Tweed on<br> Drops of Springwater (1994), Paddy Keenan and Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill on<br> The Lonesome Touch (1997). <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
