Typo

Just a little typo in the ABC:
First half of bar7 in part A should be:
fdfa
instead of: fdfA

Name?

There's a recording Cathal McConnell made in the 70's of Paddy Fahey playing this tune. Cathal comments on the recording that the tune's name is "Fahey's Tractor" (if I understood correctly, also he might be joking about the name...).

Listen here as long as it's available:

Oops...

And I take it all back because they were refering to a jig.

Great recording nonetheless.
