Tune properties and standard notation
HUMORS OF WHISKEY [1], THE (Sugra na Uisge-Beata). Irish, Double Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. This air bears a general resemblance to the "Maid on the Green/Maiden on the Green" group of tunes, according to Bayard (1981). Flood (1906) reports that it was recorded by the Belfast Northern Star of July 15th, 1792, as one of the tunes having been played in competition by one of ten Irish harp masters at the last great ancient Irish harpers convocation, the Belfast Harp Festival, held that week. See also "Aoibhneas Eilis Ní Cheallaigh."
