In the YouTube video of Jean Carignan playing Foxhunter's Jig, linked by RossCampbell above, Mr. Carignan (sp?) plays the tune in an older style, which is different from how slip jigs are usually played today, particularly for step dancing. The discussions above, where various posters talked about "diddley, diddley, diddley", "X x X/X x X/X x x", and so on, relates to the more contemporary way of playing them.
