I just looked down because the floor kept coming up and touching my feet.

Well maybe it was the other way around but it wasn't something I thought about until it happened. Dancing while sitting down. That's the mark of a true jig.

Well done

Ron

Thank you, Janet! I am not really Irish though...I'm a Scotsman in disguise.

I'm quite late here, but great no matter what day I listen to it. I WOULD enjoy seeing a video of you playing, no matter what the mix sounds like. And for the record, I'm part Irish too...my paternal grandmother was a Campbell and often talked about how her father came over on a ship when he was 7, or 11, or something. It was a few years ago I suspect. :-) But, who cares...great song and great playing. :-)

Do you have a bumper sticker on your fiddle that says "born to jig"?

Great stuff.

Amazingly, yesterday you explained jig vs. hornpipe vs. a reel.

Then last night on PBS I hear this Irish guy explaing the same thing about the time signatures of jig/reel/ectc. Uncanny!

He confirmed you were right by the way, which I had no doubt you were.

Daryl,
Thank you. I'm sure I would have loved your dad too. A hornpipe is played in a couple of different rhythms and time signatures. It can be played moderately fast in 2/4 or 4/4 as a reel, or slowly in dotted rhythm 2/4 to make it syncopated. A jig, however, is most commonly played in 6/8 time and can also be played in 9/8.

My dad, rest his soul, would have loved you even more than I do. You are right up his musical alley. Very nice.

So... what is the difference between a JIG and a HORNPIPE?
