Pretty Polly is a killer OT tune as well as a cool BG tune.

The Jackets Green tune I have in mind is the Wolfe Tone's version in which they break into a hornpipey/stratsphey bit in the middle. The words were written by a Limerickman, Michael Scanlan, and they tell of Sarsfield and the Siege of Limerick in 1690/91... The version on TheSession.org is just a rehash of McAlpine's Fusiliers and not what I have in mind. Here's the Wolfe Tones:

Bei Mir Bist Du Schon - a great swing tune: Here's the Andrew Sisters:

Eight More Miles to Louisville - a classic
