I know no. 1 as ā€œThe cow that ate the blanketā€ but thatā€™s one of those names youā€™ll see attached to more than one tune

No. 2 I hear all the time, canā€™t think of the name.

Now I remember where Iā€™ve heard the second tune - learned it not long ago from a banjo player who says he got it from a recording of Kevin Griffin, who plays this and another jig in the key of E apparently.

Hmm how useful is that?

Second tune sounds a bit like Tobinā€™s Favourite? :confused:

Yep, it does. I mentioned that to the person who gave it to me. That person, by the way, calls them Ballydesmond Jig 1 and Ballydesmond Jig 2, but said that was just what she calls themā€¦not the proper names.
