John L. Sullivan

Reel · 4/4 · D major

John L. Sullivan is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time and D major, named in honor of the celebrated nineteenth-century American heavyweight boxing champion. Because the tune's exact composer and early history remain undocumented, its precise origins are uncertain. It is typically played with a lively, driving character that suits the fast-paced demands of traditional fiddle and session repertoires.
