The story so far - - -
My apologies for the vagueness of this. I have submitted it in a simplified form. It is a tune I used to play and still do but have been removed from the seissiun scene and in this case have lost my notes and my memory in this area is not a swell exercised as it should be. I have found the tune in a similar form in one collection, Peter Kennedy's 'Traditional Dance Music of Britain and Ireland: Slip Jigs & Waltzes' where it is called 'The Kid on the Mountain'. I also play that tune, but a different melody, a version of the usual one associated with the name, and I play another one that has been mistakenly called by this name, An Phis Fluich. I'm sure we had another name for this slip jig. I'm hoping someone out there can remind me and maybe even list places where it is recorded, in print and for the ears... Go raibh ma'agat...

This reminds me of "The Peacock Followed The Hen" but it's different.

"O'Farell's Pocket Companion to the Union Pipes"
1804-10
I finally got back to this and found my earlier notes for it. For the fifth part, second bar, I left out a 'twist':

Sounds like a jig I know
It sort of reminds me of the "dusty windowsill" but that's a jig. "An Phis Fluich" ("O'Farrell's Welcome to Limerick" ) and "The Kid on theMOuntain" both sort of sound alike too.

Reminds me of The Humours of Whiskey.

"The Yellow Stockings" = "The Kitten"
Parts 1 - 3 are essentially the parts and notes that make up the slip jig called "The Yellow Stockings" or "Yellow Stockings". These tunes also have some correlation with the jig "Melvin Head" / "Helvic Head" ~
