Bruce,

What is JFSS? for us unknowledgeable ones (or maybe non- North American?)

Interestinly in my Scots Gaelic Dict. port (what puirt comes from, I think being used as a plural) port is dance music or a reel, and a jig is port-cruinn or damhsa -cruinn, basically a round dance.

Now in Irish the word port is used to describe a jig, and ríl is used to describe a reel. The reason I automatically went for the literal translaion of "mouth jig" is because I speak Irish not Scots, and the one purt a beul I know is jig. Strange how the languages have diverged over the type of dance described. So yes, Scots would either think of it as vocal dance music or vocal reel.
