Jig (101)

X:1 T:Jig [101] S:"Munster Jig as played by James Sheedy. From Michael Dineen, Coofree, County Limerick, a N:Farmer...via Mr. Joyce." N:James Sheedy was a celebrated Munster piper about whom little is known. Joyce obtained the tune N:in 1852 from the whistling of farmer Dineen, who had learned it from Sheedy in his youth. N:Joyce noted Sheedy had "died a very old man, more than thirty years ago," making the probable N:hey-day of Sheedy in the late 18th century.
