G Jigs

There's just something that I like about G jigs, I guess it's that you can roll the tonic on the fiddle. Nonetheless this is a kick butt tune that is one of my fav's & hope everyone learns.
God Bless,
Brad

Heard on kitchen sessions

Great tune indeed. I'm listening to it now on the Kitchen Sessions, recorded at the Dunleavy's kitchen in Winchester, Massachusetts, as played by Jimmy Noonan, Dan Gurney and Maeve Flanagan - I'll learn it tomorrow!
