Calliope House.
I've tried darn near every E and Em jig I know and can't find one that

Possibly is there an A jig that might fill the bill?

Just to jog your memory the tune is Homage a Edmond Parizeau. Made by
Marcel Messervier. Parizeau was a Quebecois fiddler.
It's a cool tune

My pet peeve is the way most fiddlers play Farewell to Whiskey here in New

Played here at sessions and at contra dances it comes out as a totally
unrecognizable and fast reel rather than a

If you are still looking for tunes that set well with Jean's Reel...
My current preference is a set consisting of Charlie Lennon's air The
Parting followed by Sheehan's and then Jean's Reel.
I haven't yet found any good D(mix), D(dor) or D(min) tunes that fit
together
Yes and No.
The Sheehan's I know I learned in Cape Breton. It is basically the same as
what you found but I don't care for the B part in the version below. The
Parting you found in not the tune I use. The one I was taught is available
from Paul Cranford's site. I'll chase them down and post them

I had asked:
Can any one tell me the name of the Phil Cunningham tune Sharon Shannon plays
on that cut. I've heard it before, but don't know it's name.
A brief search of the abc index turned it up. It's Phil's The Girls At
Martinfield Great tune and it goes well with Jeans Reel.
Cheers,

I did go to that web site. There's no mention of Jeans Reel anywhere.

On Natalie's version you have to watch yourself, if I remember correctly,
there's a quick shift up into 3rd position on the fiddle.
Oops. I guess I hadn't found that at least not in the version that
Dominique shared. It seems to work out just fine

Fraid I don't know the answers to your questions. But That's one cool tune.
It even sounds pretty good in Barfly and that's rare. It must be awesome
when played by a fiddler or on a button accordion. Do you know of
recordings of this tune?
Thanks,

That strathspey is also reproduced in The Caledonian Companion on

There is a lot of bio info about Peter Hardie (c1775 to 1863). He
lived in Dunkeld, Pertshire. He's best remembered as a violin maker.
But apparently he had composing talents as well.

published in 1947. The other is a Alan Lomax book published in 1960,
"Folk Songs of North America"

copyright to those words and the familiar melody (also used for the Bard of
