intriguing title..any story for it? timing, place or other?

Surprised that this is a Kieran Hanrahan composition because it's quite a difficult banjo tune.

Just guessing, but the "Four Six" might come from the two bar phrases in the b part. Perhaps the composer played it as if it were in 4/6?
Cheers,

jig in 4/6 Armand?....I've played reels called jigs and vice versa and other misnomers, maybe I'm missing something here. Perhaps a case of 'I can read music but it helps if I know the tune' Who knows? (not having heard the CD) does it matter what the title is? Nice tune though.

Yeah, like put an emphasis on every other beat. Kinda like "America" from West Side story...
Dadada dadada DA DA DA. Gnome sane?
Cheers,
Armand
