Like previous offerings, this too has family. Who will be first to add a link here? This time I'm purposely holding back... 8-)

This tune can also be played quite comfortably further up, in G & A. Here it is again in a barer take of the tune ~

Family

I would guess that this one's more famous relative would be Drops of Brandy. Daddy slip jig must have been a promiscuous type. ;-)

E-minor version

Here's the version from the Joshua Jackson manuscripts - and, no, we're not related :-) . He has it in E-minor which I think gives it a quite different feel.
