OLD JOHN'S JIG (Port Shean tSeáin). AKA - "Joe's Jig," "Old Joe's Jig." AKA and see "Bank of Ireland (2)," "Port Shean tSeáin." Irish, Double Jig. A Dorian (Breathnach, Cranitch): E Dorian (Miller). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was named by Brendan Breathnach. O'Sullivan (1983) remarks that this tune is a jig variant of harper Turlough O'Carolan's "Princess Royal (1)." Breathnach (1963) notes that O'Neill's "Short Grass (The)" has several bars reminiscent of this jig, as does a jig printed by R.M. Levey (No. 87). See also the related "Rambler from Clare" and the reels "Bank of Ireland" and "Kerryman's Daughter (1) (The)."
