Tune Annotations

Tune Annotations:	'''DEVIL'S HOP [2], THE. '''  Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time).  G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle).  AB.   "Devil's Hop [2]" is contained in the large c. 1883 music manuscript collection of County Leitrim musician [[biography:Stephen Grier{{!}}]], in Book 4 (No. 40, p. 9 [https://manuscripts.itma.ie/grier/book-four/]). It is probably a version of the English country dance tune "[[Devil's Hop (1) (The)]]", though quite distanced in the first strain. Unusually, it is the second strain of the tunes where the correspondence is more obvious. The tunes are quite alike in character.
