Uilleann piper Tom Ennis and fiddler John "Jack" Gerrity (incorrectly spelled as "Garridy" on the disc) recorded this set of polkas on the Gennett label in 1922 (GE 5003). Both played frequently in the dance halls of New York in the 1920s, sometimes as a trio with pianist Joe Garry. This recording features pianist Paddy Muldoon.
