I gave up playing this tune at sessions as eejits who come only to play and not to listen invariably launched into "Pay the Reckoning".

I thought maybe this was the Jackson's jig that Brendan Mulvihill just taught our class at Irish Arts Week in the Catskills, but I took a look at the abc's and it's a completely different tune....

Although, I've heard this tune many different places, I transcribed this one off a cut from The Boys Of The Lough recording "Lochaber No More". It was part of a set with "Blarney Pilgrim".

More info about this tune from JC's site...

Composed probably "by a gentleman piper and fiddler called ( "Piper" Jackson (whose first name was either “Walter” or “Walker”), who lived in either Co. Limerick or Co. Monaghan, in the mid-18th century. It is also claimed that he wrote the well-known 'Irish Washerwoman', as well as a great many other tunes, mainly jigs." Source for notated version: Co. Donegal fiddler Tommy Peoples [Boys of the Lough]. Boys of the Lough, 1977; pg. 19. Green Linnet SIF-3041, Matt Molloy - "Stony Steps" (1989). Green Linnet SIF-104, Matt Molloy - "The Celts RIse Again" (1990).

The C part becomes the A part and the A is dropped on Live at Mona. They title it Jackson's Bottle of Brandy.
