Back to Kiss My Wife and Welcome (1)
KISS MY WIFE AND WELCOME. AKA and see "Free and Easy (1)." English (?), Irish (?); Jig (12/8 time). E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A tune of unknown provenance, but perhaps Irish, as it is so identified in James S. Kerr's Merry Melodies (where it appears as "Free and Easy").
Source for notated version: William Litten's music manuscript collection [Huntington]. Litten was a ship's fiddler who sailed with the British East India fleet on a voyage to China during the years 1800-1802. Little else is known about him. His music manuscript came into the possession of sailor Allen Coffin, although how is a mystery. Coffin brought it home with him to the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard in the early 19th century, when he finished his own voyages.
Printed sources: Hughes (Gems from the Emerald Isle), c. 1860's?; No. 6, p.3. Huntington (William Linton's), 1977; p. 33.
