ANDY DEJARLIS (JIG). Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). Canada, Manitoba. E Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A popular tune for those rare times that an E Major set is called for. The tune has been attributed to Manitoba fiddler biography:Andy De Jarlis, but also has been credited to Cape Breton fiddler Mike McDougal. The jig has gained international currency through the playing of Cape Breton musicians. Irish musician Karen Tweed calls the tune "Tom Trainor's" after the individual she learned it from.
