Tune of the Day: The Old Man's Delight

Traditional Irish jig

The earliest known appearance of this jig is in Francis O'Neill's celebrated collection Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. O'Neill obtained this tune from Chicago Police Patrolman John Kennedy, who in turn had learned it from his father.
