TOM HACKETT'S DREAM. AKA and see "Around Loughgill," "Hoban's on 63rd," "Owenmore (2) (The)," "Owen Hacket's Jig, "Road to Ballinakill (The)," "Port Patrick." Irish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by County Meath musician Owen Hackett, in honor of his father (according to his email of 12/30/13). The tune has been in circulation for some decades and has acquired a variety of titles. The tune has sometimes been attributed to the late flute player Mike Rafferty (and others), however, Hackett's claim seems genuine.
