There are not enough multi-part slip jigs like this, that just go on and on. I like it.

# Posted on December 5th 2007 by ragaman

...In case you're wondering, I did mean I like *this tune*. But I suppose I also quite like the fact that there aren't too many like it. The world would be a very strange place if all slip jigs had five parts.

# Posted on December 5th 2007 by ragaman

Yes, it would be a five-part-slip-jig world and we'd all have three of everything ~ eyes, legs ~ :-/

Hey, please, anybody else out there have another version of this one? I'd love to see it and give it a try...
