Tune of the Day: Child of My Heart

Traditional Irish jig

This tune appears to be unique to Francis O'Neill's early-20th-century collections Music of Ireland (1903) and The Dance Music of Ireland (1907), both published in Chicago. O'Neill's source was Chicago police patrolman, piper and flute player John Ennis, originally from County Kildare. Ennis had it from a Chicago session, a “pet tune” of a nameless player who was reluctant to allow it to be collected.
