SERGEANT EARLY'S JIG (Port Maor Maelmoceirge). Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title refers to Chicago Police Sergeant James Early, a piper originally from County Leitrim, who had a store of tunes in a manuscript consisting of the first few bars of each. O’Neill said of him: “Kindly, unassuming, patient, tolerant, helpful and hospitable.”
Free from professional jealousy, a proverbial affliction, he has been to the Union pipers America what the lamented Canon Goodman was to the pipers of Ireland a generation ago--their unfailing friend in distress. An expert at putting a demoralized set of pipes in order, he had no superior as a reed maker, and although he had no monopoly in this line of delicate workmanship, the difference between his dealings and that of some others was the difference between liberality and covetousness, or between candor and duplicity. [1]
Early often played in duet with fiddler John McFadden, originally from County Mayo. See the “Maid at the Spinning Wheel (The)” family of tunes. One of many variants appears in the Carl Hardebeck (1869-1945) collection under the title “Tune the Fiddle.”
