Back to Jackson's Jig (1)
JACKSON'S JIG [1]. Irish, Jig. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Composed probably "by a gentleman piper and fiddler called "Piper" Jackson (whose first name was either "Walter" or "Walker"), who lived in either Co. Limerick or Co. Monaghan, in the mid-18th century. It is also claimed that he wrote the well-known 'Irish Washerwoman', as well as a great many other tunes, mainly jigs." Alan Ng finds the second and third strains similar to "Jackson's Bottle of Brandy", while the 1st strain is similar to that of "Lost and Found."
