TELL HER I AM [3]. AKA and see “Brennan's Favourite,” “Richard Brennan's Favorite.” Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The jig is not "Tell Her I Am" but rather "Richard Brennan's Favorite"; it was occasionally called by the "Tell Her I Am" name due to its having been recorded as the second tune in a medley with "Richard Brennans" in 1936 in New York by County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman.
