10/22/07 Paddy Fahey's Jig
10/22/07 Welcome to Jim Underwood, fiddler (and personal friend), who posts Paddy Fahey's Jig. (saved in non-w) He writes, "Like many Galway and East Clare fiddle tunes, this is in a flat key. It starts off in G dorian, or one flat, but wanders back and forth into G mixolidian (add B natural) and even G major (add F#) in the B part. So the key gets pretty ambiguous. Lots of recordings of this (Kevin Burke, Martin Hayes...) but for authenticity probably the Galway fiddler Martin Byrnes (on "Paddy in the Smoke")."
