James Gannon's Jig
This is a tune that John Carty taught us at his banjo class that took place at the St. Louis Tionol in 2004. Not to be confused with several other James Gannon's including a barndance and a reel.
This was an easy jig to learn and to ornament with the banjo.

Sounds like a slide
Are you sure it's not?

Slide or jig?
This was presented as a jig, slunds like one when played by John Carty, and is found as a jig on Bill Black's site (although in slightly different notation from the one presented to us.)
so as far as I can tell, it is a jig.

This lovely tune could work as a single jig but does not have the flow or phrasing across two measures to fit the feel of a 12/8 slide...

I heard this played at a session recently by someone who said they'd got it as a nameless tune off Michael Hynes. Thanks for the name!

Found out the proper name for this thanks to Kenny's duplication of it here: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/3452.
