Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Ireland

This tune recorded in 1969 by Denis Murphy & Julia Clifford as Lisheen Slide, on an album named Star Above the Garter, which seems to have become confused with the name of the tune. It probably originates from West Kerry in Ireland and is related to Jackson's Frieze Coat.

Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Ireland

A Piper on the Hob is a house cricket. During the colder nights the presence of a cricket was said to be a sign of good luck. Confusingly, there is another musically unrelated Irish jig of the same name (see the last link below).

Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Ireland

The title stems from the fact that this tune was used as the melody for a song for Thomas Jefferson's 1800 US presidential campaign. The original tune was named The Gobby-O, a title that may refer to a beggar boy, someone that talks too much, or perhaps a small freshwater fish.
