JOHN BAIN'S SISTER'S WEDDING. AKA - "John Bàn's Sister's Wedding." Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The 6/8 time melody "John Bàn's Sister's Wedding" formed the basis for the slow air and song "My Own House" (AKA "My ain hoose", "Mo dhachaigh"). Fr. John Quinn finds Francis O'Neill's "Long John's Wedding" to be a major-mode variant of this tune.
