NEW LESSON, THE (An Leigeann Nuad). AKA and see "'Read-a-med-aisy' (The)," "New Found Out (The)." Irish, Air (6/8 time, "airily"). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Read-a-med-aisy = 'reading made easy'; O'Neill's alternate title. "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.
