about

We first heard this version of Banish Misfortune from Sean Gavin in our dining room a couple days after our wedding, and later found the Ward Archive’s copy of Edward Cronin playing it on wax cylinder. These two jigs were collected by O'Neill from Cronin and the transcription is very close to the way Cronin plays it, quadruplets and all. The second jig was christened (inadvertently) by Early when he heard Cronin play it and "remarked with evident appreciation, 'Ah, that's well covered with moss' — alluding to its ancient strains." (Irish Folk Music, p.88)
