'''BUSH ON THE HILL [2], THE/A'''. AKA and see "[[Humors of Miltown (3)]]," "[[Lowdown Jig (The)]]," "[[McGlinchey's Jig]],"  "[[Milltown Maid]]," "[[Old West Clare Jig (The)]]," "[[Sean Ryan's Jig (3)]]." Irish, Jig. A Major (Cranford/Stubbert, Taylor/Tweed): G Major (Mulvihill). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Cranford/Stubbert, Mulvihill): AA'BB' (Taylor/Tweed). "The Lowdown Jig" is a local Kerry name for the tune. Fiddler Brendan McGlinchey has been credited with composing the tune, although apparently McGlinchey himself has said he did not. He thinks, rather, that it may be one of several tunes collected in America by Ciarán Mac Mathúna in the early 1960's (Paul de Grae). Philippe Varlet, however, finds that it predates McGlinchey, and that Paddy Killoran recorded it on a 78 RPM after WWII and in a concert at the GPO in Dublin in 1949. Indeed, the notes to the Ennis Ceili Band CD maintain that it is a Killoran composition originally titled "[[Humors of Miltown (3)]]," honoring his wife's native home of Coore, a townland of Miltown Malbay, Clare (Paul de Grae mentions that she was a Hayes, sister-in-law to Kitty Hayes). Derry fiddler Eugene O'Donnell (who lived in Philadelphia, Pa., for many years before returning to Ireland) also believed the tune was from West Clare (Miller & Perron, 2nd ed.). The "[[Lowdown Jig (The)]]" title (by which it is known nowadays in County Kerry, according to Paul) is descriptive of the distinctive first part of the tune, which begins with a roll on the open 'G' string. Cape Breton versions are sometimes set in the key of A major.
