This is the second 48 bar tune that I have in a set of three starting with a three part version of Morgan Rattler and ending with Bucks of Westmeath. Will post 'Bucks' tomorrow.

I would say that's a slide and one where I can see a lot of relationsship to polka rythm...

Slide? Polka?
Can't agree with you I'm afraid. I'm so used to playing at as a jig that it really feels wrong in polka phrasing although it is an easy tune to do that with. Does not feel like any slide that I play. I have not come across any reference to Single Jig on the session so far and feel that it could probably fit into that catagory more so than a double jig. Anyway I feel it makes for a good tune to dance to.

Late arrival on this one, however... ~ this does not have the clear long phrasing of a 12/8 slide, definine the 12/8 measures. Instead this presents us with short pulses, having that chunkier 6/8 feel of that species of single jig...
