Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Fr. John Quinn suspects that the title references a brother of Francis O'Neill's transcriber and collaborator (on his early volumes), Chicago Police Sgt. James O'Neill, originally from Banbridge, Seapatrick, County Down. The "E." in Jack's proper name may be to distinguish him from their father, John O'Neill, who was born in the same area around 1837. John Sr. taught his children to play the fiddle and collected a huge repertoire of fiddle tunes[1] which he left to his son James. Unfortunately, almost all of James' manuscripts and papers (presumably including his father's collection) were kept in the basement of his home in Chicago and were destroyed when it flooded.
