Tune of the Day: The Happy Mistake

Traditional Irish jig

The first known appearance of “The Happy Mistake” is in the first volume of O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes, published in 1806. The melody is however similar to “Jackson's Bottle of Claret”, which is at least a decade older.
