According to New York button accordionist Luke O'Malley, this jig was composed by Jack McKenna, a guitar accompanist to Hughie Gillespie and Paddy Killoran, and touched up a bit by Killoran himself. Philippe Varlet identified the original recording (with McKenna on guitar) as a c. 1951 78 rpm side on the Standard label, on which it appeared, paired with "[[Knights of Saint Patrick (The)]]," as one of "Patrick's Jigs." Varlet relates that Killoran also played it at a 1949 concert at the Dublin GPO. Indeed, the notes to the Ennis Ceili Band CD maintain that it is a Killoran composition originally titled "[[Humors of Miltown (3)]]," honoring his second wife Betty (Bridget) Hayes's home in Shanaway West, Coore near Miltown Malbay, County Clare. Paul de Grae mentions that she was a sister-in-law to Kitty Hayes. The "[[Lowdown Jig (The)]]" title by which it is known nowadays in County Kerry, according to Paul is descriptive of the distinctive first part of the tune, which begins with a roll on the open 'G' string. Killoran himself recorded the tune in A, the key still preferred by older New York and Cape Breton fiddlers. | '''BUSH ON THE HILL [2], THE/A'''.
