This name is supposed to be inspired by the kind of political change that swept into the United States when Congress voted in favor of abolishing Prohibition. Prohibition itself was not popular among the Irish immigrant musicians who regarded it as absurdly inconvenient. Sligo fiddler Tom Gannon is said to be responsible for the birth of this tune. Gannon was a contemporary and friend of fellow Sligo musician Michael Coleman. They recorded a fiddle duet together on a 78 rpm record.
