"The Straw Rope"
From 'The Keegan Tunes, Vol. 2'-
This is the first of a two jig set, soon to be followed with a tune called 'Black Rosie'. In my mind these are almost as a fast waltz, with a very dignified character. With the first in D and the second changing keys to G, they make a very nice set.
