Thread Name: What's your favourite jig?
Subject: RE: What's your favourite jig?
There's one called Port Seán Seosamh (John Joseph's Jig) that I've also heard labeled as Old Joe's Jig. It was confusing til I realized that if you left out the fada in Seán it would be sean (old) and it's one of the few adjectives that appears before the subject in Irish. (ie; seanbhean, seanduine) Besides demonstrating the importance of punctuation, it's just really a cool tune.

Thanks for bringing this thread back.

Slán,
Rich
