Actually, I know what it is, and so do you. But I couldn't let its existence pass unrecognised. A music scheme we are adopting in our school has a section on Irish folk music (good point). The children have to listen to a jig, and learn appropriate rhythms befoe learning Phil the Fluter's Ball, along with looking at pictures of Ireland, and a bunch of little girls dancing. But they also have to learn that the jig is accompanied by a barong. This is the word given to the teacher. No correct spelling available. Does this show contempt for Gaelic, bodhrans, or both? Or is it a hangover from some section on gamelan?
