READING MADE EASY, THE. AKA and see “Billy McCormick's Jig,” “New Lesson (The).” Irish, Air (6/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The melody is a variant of "Spailpín Rúin/Spailpín a Rúin (A)," itself a variant of "Blackbird (1) (The)." See also O'Neill's version "New Lesson (The)." "Billy McCormick's" is sometimes given as an alternate title, but the jig of that name printed in O'Neill's DMI (1907, No. 341) bears no resemblance.

Source for notated version: “From Father Walsh’s MS” [Stanford/Petrie].

Printed sources: Stanford/Petrie (Complete Collection), 1905; No. 672, p. 169.
