great tune! everyone should check out the Altan version- they put it with Andy de Jarlis and one other . . . which is it? anyway, it works fabulously!

I'm sure they stole the jig set from Jerry Holland.

Doesn't seem that this is the same tune that's on the Traditional Cape Breton CD. It sounds fastly different. Any suggestions on the tune by the same name?

...of course I meant VASTLY not fastly different.
