John Stensons No.2

Another one from If the cap fits, still one of my favourite albums.
I already have all the tunes from this album noted in sheet music form, and to get used to ABC I am converting them all
Does anyone know who John Stenson is or was?
Good Luck.

Michael, The Stensons are relatives of Kevin Burke and live in Co. Sligo. John Stenson was a box player and Kevin learned the tune from him. I think the story (or part of it) is on the sleeve notes of one of KB´s albums.

Rather similar to the American tune Sally Goodin.
