SALLY HEGARTY'S. AKA and see "High Road to Dublin (2) (The)." Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). Ireland, County Donegal. A popular slip jig in County Donegal. The band Altan recorded the tune using the title “Humors of Whiskey (3).” Caoimhin Mac Aoidh says the tune was passed on primarily by the Deargs (the Byrne brothers) of Kilcar. The name “Sally Hegarty’s” was the one Donegal fiddler John Doherty always used for the tune, named after a 10 key melodeon player from Teelin.
