April’s Fool jig

I thought this one was well known, but I didn’t find it here. We use to play it at our session. Emer Mayock recorded it on her Merry Bits Of Timber album.

This is one of the first jigs I wrote — and wrote it for Liz Carroll after a great April’s Fool joke she played on me

Gypsy Reel plays this tune-we love the tune and the story of the joke-maybe Jimmy Keane could elaborate..
