Tune of the Day: Young Tom Ennis
Traditional Irish jig
This jig is taken from Chicago police officer Francis O'Neill's celebrated collection Music of Ireland, published in 1903. Tom Ennis was the youngest member of Chicago's Irish Fiddle Club in the early years of the 20th century. A budding piper and fiddler, he was the American-born son of piper and flute player John Ennis of Kildare, from whom O'Neill obtained this tune.
