As played by McConnell’s Four Leaf Shamrocks

78 RPM recording, October 25, 1924: http://victor.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/talent/detail/13906/McConnells_Four_Leaf_Shamrocks_Musical_group Rereleased on Topic’s Irish Dance Music CD. 

Simplest setting yet? Lots of whole notes, no filigrees. Get a load of this lineup: 2 violins, piano, piccolo, bagpipe, cornet, and traps. Just a wonderful record.
