Whoever named this tune had a sense of humor. I couldnt bring myself to put its title in the topic line... Haha...Whoever named it Probably did it so they could have a laugh when it was called out by someone... I could see the group going.." Oh yah did eh?! Bahaha" anyway..

Nice work there Greg. Is this made with the Zoom? The video is excellent. The audio is very close sounding.

Yeah, some of those jigs have the oddest of names!

Thanks @starise . yes this was the zoom. It was about 3 or so feet on a mic stand over my right shoulder-ish.

These videos always reveal intotantion issues for me. I sank worse than I thought starting off in the A part with the E and F# and somewhat on the B on a string. I feel like I got it straight especially on the B part but stumbled a little on the rythym. I had also rosined a little much maybe.

Thanks for the reply!
