ANOTHER JIG WILL DO (Deanfaid Port Eile). AKA - "Any Old Jig Will Do." AKA and see "He Didn't Dance All Day," "I Whistled and Called Her Back," "That's the time o' day," "Whiskey and Beer." Irish, Slip Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Brody): AABB (O'Neill). A common slip jig at modern sessions, popularized by the Boys of the Lough in the 1970's. Slip jigs tend to sound similar, lending to title drift between tunes; "Another Jig will do" has also been called "Riding a Mile (3)" the title of another slip jig.
