This is a jig I wrote a few years ago. Rest assured I will add some trad tunes to the site as soon as. Hope some of you like this tune in the mean time - its primarily designed for the fiddle as it explores some of the low G-string sound that I find is so often neglected. The title comes from the tunes habit of, well, rambling on in continuous quaver movement around all four strings of the instrument.

Isnt there sheet music for it?

There certainly is sheet music for it - but sometimes you have to wait a while for the ABC format to be converted into sheet music form.

Ok, thanks. I cant figure out how the ABC format works.

Jig o'Slurs

It can go well before Jig o'Slurs as the opening bars of both are identical.
