Slip jigs, but I don't know the names.TonyHiggins wrote:08/13/07 Tony Higgins posts a couple of tunes of unknown name or classification. I'll edit this as soon as someone clues me in. (saved in misc)
Nope, you're definitely wrong.Fergmaun wrote:The second tune is called Comb Your Hair And Curl It (slip jig) not The Boys Of Ballisodare.
The Chieftains 1 CD track 4 has Comb Your Hair And Curl It/The Boys Of Ballisodare.

Yes indeed. And the second tune in that Chieftains set, The Boys of Ballysodare, is the one that Tony plays here.Fergmaun wrote:The Chieftains 1 CD track 4 has Comb Your Hair And Curl It/The Boys Of Ballisodare.
You're right, Nico, that's what it says. The name Promenade does seem to be sticking, though, as attested by the multiple recordings of the tune under that name. And the Fiddler's Companion also lists it with that title. I guess two "wrong" names are better than Gan Ainm! Ain't folk music wonderful?NicoMoreno wrote:And MTGuru, according to thesession.org, the name "The Promenade" is as incorrect as "Coleman's". The comments suggest it was the promenade to a dance, and hence that was used as the name.
Looks like you have subtle and incisive instincts, Tony:TonyHiggins wrote:I was thrown off by an alternative way of counting in my head ('one and two and three and') due to the quarter notes that are so prevalent.
Now, is it spelled Ballisodare, Ballysodare, Ballysadare, or maybe even Ballisadare? A song title search on Amazon.com finds Ballisodare by far the most common, but several recordings under each name exist.http://www.irishtune.info/rhythm/ wrote:Some slip jigs employ primarily heavy-light pairs instead of the jig patterns, similar to single jigs, and one could justifiably define these as another species of slip jig.
