In Bob Fox's version of Rambling Rover he plays a tune as part of the intro to the song and also in the middle of the song. I have heard the tune played at a session I was at in Whitby a long time ago but don't know its name.

Could someone tell me what it is called?

Thanks

Nick,

could it be "Bill Collins' Jig" a.k.a. "Dan Collins' Father's Jig"? I can't find a good MIDI right now, but just try tunedb or any other tune database and you'll find it.

Oops, that last post was mine... Blame the cookie monster ;-) Anyway, I've been listening to Fox's "Rambling Rover" again, and I think that the jig that is played in the middle is called "The Gander in the Pratie Hole". Hope this helps,

Hm, I know this thread is becoming a monologue, I felt that yet another message was necessary. I found MIDI files of both tunes:

Bill Collins' Jig

The Gander

Hope this helps,
