Phil's Jig

This is the first tune I've posted. I got Phil's jig from a former banjo teacher and I havn't heard it being played by anyone since and no one else in any session I went to seemed to know it.
For the first part, you can make those C#'s to C natural. Whatever takes your preference.
In part 2, things get a little strange. The rythem goes a little weird but the transcription I've posted is correct, I'm sure. The crotchet A at the beginning of the 2nd part acts like an anucrusis and therefore, you can see that 1 beat is missing from a bar somewhere in part 2 due to this.
Strange little tune when it comes to the B part but should be manageable enough.

My teacher played the set tenpenny bit/Phil's Jig/Lilting Banshee.

A supposedly rare tune to add to your repoitore maybe?

Comments welcome (hope I made no mistakes!).

Have fun playing!

This tune, listed as "Phil's Jig," can be heard in the Waltons 101 Fiddle Tunes collection.

Also it's on "Rattling Banjo's-100 Banjo Solo's" with David McNevin playing it under the title "Mist Covered Mountain." (Not to be confused with the other tune by that name.)
