Played on...

One of De Dannan's early albums, sorry can't remember the name. There, as in other places, it's played in A rather than E

The Tailor Small's

Jackie got this tune from his father, who was a tailor by trade.

De Dannan's recording

On the classic De Dannan recording Jackie Small's jig is played in Dm, perhaps because they used a C melodeon. Flowers of Spring and Jackie Smalls sound great played on a one-row melodeon.
