A Newer Jig by Orrin Star (w/cello)

I wrote a second jig last month and taped it last week with a cellist who I've been playing some tunes with.

Orrin,what's its name. Our band has been playing "Partners" at contra dances for over a year now.

Sweet! My Granddaughter is learning cello. This might inspire her to learn some Trad.

very nice tune

I notice that jigs and tarantels sounds very similar. is it because of the 6/8 ?

Folks, Thanks for the appreciative thoughts. This tune was named for a recently
deceased DC-area folk figure. His widow loved it and asked me to go into a studio
and make a proper recording.

Here it is as a trio with the addition of a cittern (and going into a great contra reel):
