Back to Flanagan's Jig (2)


FLANAGAN'S (JIG) [2]. AKA - "Mike Flanagan's Jig." Irish, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The last two parts of the tune (in reverse order) comprise "Champion (3)," played by Cape Breton musicians. The title "Flanagan's Jig" refers to the Flanagan Brothers Band, who recorded the two-jig medley (under the title "Wanderer (The)") in 1929. Philippe Varlet says the second jig in the medley was recorded by early button accordion recording great John J. Kimmel as "Smash (The)" (also recorded under that title again by the Flanagan Brothers and accordion player Joe Flanagan).
