The Kerry Cobbler
I came across this tune while looking for another, and then realized I'd learned it years ago from O'Neill's. My setting here differs from that in O'Neill's, based on my own personal preferences and getting it under my fingers on flute and banjo. Although it works fine at typical session speeds, it also makes a nice jig for dancers wanting a treble jig, played dotted and slow.
