Sounded a little sad for a jig if ya ask me. Was it in a minor key for some reason Elly? I enjoy the sound of the fife and the American battle tunes that sound so well when played on it. I have a fife but have yet to master it. I can play the Yankee Doodle and Dixie, and working on Battle Hymn of the Republic. Love Battle on the Potomac (sp) fur sur. Marine Corps tune by De'Sousa, the list goes on and on.

Jigs don't have a set key, they are in 6/8 time -- any key will do. That one, as you guessed, was a minor key, E minor to be specific. Reels are in 4/4, slip jigs in 9/8, etc. If you are interested, visit www.thesession.org for more information, I post there often.
