The Egg

From the playing of The Josephine Marsh Band.

Composed by flute player, Tim Goddard. He named the tune after the opening notes in the B Part of “egg agg egg”.

The Egg, X:3

Just saw that this jig had been posted. This version is actually the way the tune was intended. One of those happy occasions where the tune just popped out of my fingers. Nowadays I think I prefer to play it in B minor.

Nice to see the original setting, @Tim.
