Jack's Maggot
A Playford tune, used for the dance of that name. Submitted in the "barndance" category, for want of a better home.
"Maggot" in this instance is not one of those wee beasties so beloved by anglers for use as bait, but a type of 17th century dance.
It's a delightful air, and useful for other dances as well -especiallly if played briskly.

Jack's Maggot Curry
aren't the Playfords great? There is so much room in them. Like the best Indian recipes, they give you just enough information to get the main idea and you season to taste...
