BORING THE LEATHER [2] (Tolladh an Leathair). AKA and see "Come with Me Now," "Connaughtman (The)," "Down the Back Lane," "Humors of Ayle House (The)," "Kilfinane Jig (The)," "Shoemaker's Fancy (The)," "When You Go Home." Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The jig appears in O'Neill's publication fours times under the titles "Come with Me Now," "Humors of Ayle House (The)," "Kilfinane Jig (The)," and "When You Go Home," though Breathnach says the key signature is wrong in all of them and sometimes the endings are wrong. Three versions are printed with no name by Petrie (No. 964-6). The "Boring the Leather" name for this jig comes from the mid-19th century biography:James Goodman Manuscripts (Cork).
