Hi, I’ve got what I think is the A part of a jig stuck in my head, but I have no idea where it came from. Anyone recognize it?
In the key of G (c naturals):
|:DEG A3|AGE c3|DED A3|AGE GED|DEG A3|AGE c2 d|edc dcA|cAG G3:|
I’ve been rolling the A3’s and splitting up the c3’s…
Thanks!

It reminds me of more than one tune… is it this one (Cs are #)?
EDE BAB | cBA B3 | EDE BAB | DBA FED | EDE BAB | cBA Bcd | e2e dBA | B2 A FED ||
I think this is a Scottish tune, but I don’t know any name for it other than the one Packie Byrne gives it, “Away and over” (it’s in A Dossan of Heather, no. 17)
Steve, the one you have, isn’t that just Bill Harte’s one tone up from the more usual D [I have heard it though ending on A, but that’s just the fiddlers taking it up one string]
Here’s a link to an MP3 of it (whatever it is):

It’s just one time throug the A (I don’t have a B part).
That tune sounds kinda like “ryan’s slip jig” to me, but knocked down a note.
