Does someone know the name of that tune?

Fairhaired Boy?
Gian Marco, it sounds a lot like The Fairhaired Boy
(http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/3119), but your B part is different.

Reminds me of Old Man Dillon http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2200

I learned this great wee tune off a tape of Desi a right while ago and haven't heard it played by many others. Nearly sure the title given was another "Jackson's" or "Jackson's something-or-other". Not much help, I am afraid.

Gan Ainm
You may find that this is a fairly common title for Celtic tunes.
It is my understanding that it translates from the Gaelic as
"untitled"

Acutally, it means "without name" (gan = without, ainm = name), and is conventionally used when you don't know an accepted name for a tune. Not as a "title" in itself. Which is why Gian Marco used it--but he'd like to know if anyone has a name that it's known by.

I think I have it. Jackson's Coagy?

Jackson's Coagy sounds good, gone!

Great...so what the heck is a coagy?
# Posted on March 26th 2005 by Will Harmon
Perhaps it's a variant spelling of "coggie" (i.e. drinking vessel) I see from checking the recordings (which I forgot to do) that Desi has recorded a jig by this name on "3 Piece Flute". I do not have this recording, so maybe someone who has could find out for us.

Jackson's 'Coagy'
No idea what a 'coagy' is, but in my research in 'the Gunn Book' it appears as 'Jackson's Couge in the Morning' . 'Couge' is a porridge-pot in Scottish dialect. See the book 'Hidden Fermanagh' for more details on the Jackson tunes in the Gunn Book and other C19th N Ireland collections.
