N.B. MIDI is a terrible way to learn a fiddle tune!
I wrote this tune for my daughter Joy about the time when I started to think — ah, yes, she's who she is, my work is done. I was much under the influence of a certain kind of Irish music at the time, and this is a slow jig in that style: perhaps not terribly well-suited to her sunny personality, but there's a relentlessness about it that matches her indomitable spirit, perhaps.
