IDLEWILD JIG. AKA and see "Cricket's March Over the Saltbox (The)." American, Irish (?); Jig. USA, New England. D Major ('A' part) & B Minor ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cole, Ryan): AABB (S. Johnson): AABB' (Songer). Susan Songer (Portland Collection) notes that Larry Nugent recorded it on his first album, having learned the tune from an elderly fiddler named Willie Johnston who lived near his parents' home in Lack, County Fermanagh. Johnston maintained it was a 'fairy tune' he had learned one lonely night while walking home.
