I remember trying to play this one when I was twelve years old. I had just received my first accordion which was a one-row Hohner box. There were no musicians in my locality to help me track down the notes of the jig, so I had to go it alone. I still remember the trials and tribulations of learning it and the great feeling when I found a few notes of its melody. It’s also in O’Neill’s 1001 collection.
