PROMENADE [1] (Sleaschéim an Promenade). AKA and see "Coleman's Favorite (2)," “Coleman's Slip Jig (1)," "Michael Coleman's Hop Jig.” Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A note with this in the manuscript reads: “Ml. Coleman who danced as he played this tune. Wm. Clancy 4/2/57.” However, researcher Brendan Breathnach could find no recording of the tune by the great Sligo/New York fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945). Irish fiddler Michael Gorman (who spent much of his life in London) did record the tune, and Breathnach interestingly notes that Coleman and Gorman both had the same fiddle teacher in County Sligo, James Gannon. The slip jig appears in Bulmer & Sharpley's Music from Ireland, vol. 3, No. 77 as “Coleman’s 1.”
