Round the House and Mind the Dresser

Whistle
1

On The Chieftain’s Collection – the Very Best of the Claddagh Years – volume two there is a track (track 4) called “Round the House and Mind the Dresser.” “Round the House and Mind the Dresser” is the first tune in the set, but there is at least one more, and maybe two (either one four part tune or two tunes alternating). They are either jigs or slides. Can anyone identify the names of these other tunes?

According to the very limited liner notes, this set is from Chieftains 6 – Bonaparte’s Retreat, so if anyone has that one, maybe they could check to see if the tunes for this track are listed on the liner notes.

These are pretty easy tunes, so I can learn them by ear, but I’d lke to know what they are called in the remote event someone says “Hey, nice tune. What’s it called?”

Thanks.

OK – I found one of them. It’s a slide called “If I Had a Wife.” But there’s one more tune in there that bridges from “Around the House and Mind the Dresser” and “If I Had a Wife.” And I don’t have a clue on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
