FROGS' FROLIC. AKA and see "Dunkeld House (1)." American (originally Scottish), Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. See also the cognate first strain of "Grey Goose (3) (The)." The tune was printed in Elias Howe's Musician's Omnibus Nos. 6 & 7 (1880-1882) as "Irish Reel", and printed again a year later by Howe's employee, William Bradbury Ryan in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) as "Frogs' Frolic." While Howe may have obtained it from Irish sources, the jig is the work of Scottish fiddler-composer Niel Gow (1727-1807), who composed it in the 1770's for his patron John Murray, the Duke of Atholl -- Dunkeld House in Perthshire was one of the latter's seats, and lies "no more than a stone's throw" from Inver, the birthplace of the great fiddler.
