SACKOW'S. AKA and see "Jew Jig (The)," "Pride Of Kildare (The)," "Syriacus," "Tripping Upstairs (2)," "Tripping Up the Stairs." Irish, Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The first sound recording of the jig under the "Sackow's" title was in 1921 by "Patrolman" Frank Quinn, a fiddler and accordion player originally from Ireland who worked as a policeman in New York City. The tune has been attributed to fiddler John McGrath (1900-1955)[1], although this awaits verification.
