LARRY REDICAN'S SLIP JIG. Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A composition of Irish-American fiddler and banjo player, Larry Redican [1] (1908-1975), who originally called it "Lough Key" in honor of Paddy O'Brien on the occasion of the famous accordion player's trip to America. Although he was born in Dublin, Redican's parents hailed from Boyle, Co. Sligo, and were both flute players. Redican, however, chose the fiddle and studied with Frank O'Higgins in Dublin before he emigrated to the United States in 1928. He worked for much of his life for the cosmetics company Estee Lauder in New York. Redican was a member of the New York Céili Band.
