That's very interesting Jack, and
Anyway, I don't think it's any sillier than Squirrel in the Tree jig.
Oh no, I was waiting for that Squirrel in the tree jig to come up. Sandy

I usually use Bonnie Tammie Scolla as an early beginner tune. I
teach it as a song first, then the tune on the fiddle. It isn't Cape
