I learned a tune today penned by Galway fiddler Liz Kane, who I met a few years ago when she and her sister Yvonne were teaching a workshop in Takoma Park, Maryland. They taught me a jig in C major written by Galway legend Paddy Fahy. When I heard this tune, it reminded me so much of that jig. It has similar arpeggios and phrases, not to mention it's in the same key and time signature. Liz Kane wrote this tune for her grandfather. I plan on putting it in a set with the Paddy Fahy jig in C.
