CAPE NORTH JIG. Canadian, Jig. Canada, Cape Breton. G Dorian (Dunlay & Greenberg/Fitzgerald): A Dorian (Dougie MacDonald). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Dunlay & Greenberg (1996) believe this tune to be derived from "Haughs of Cromdale (The) Strathspey" and suggest it was perhaps "another example of Fitzgerald's genius at adapting tunes." Cape North is at the extreme north of Cape Breton Island, jutting into the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
