My oldest son made the leap from child to subadult recently, the grand old age of twelve. Reminded my that I had worked out this jig version of Happy Birthday for those not uncommon situations where our little band of minstrels needed to serenade someone's candle conflagration, and it was handy to do it in an Irish way, hence the jig. Goes well in a set, playing Happy Birthday straight (so everyone can sing along), then into the jig, then into Tobin's Favorite or some other celebratory D major jig.
