BOLT THE DOOR [1] (Cuir barrad ar an dorus). AKA and see "Jack's Health (1)." Irish, Single Jig. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The Irish jig "Bolt the Door [1]" has been employed for the Playford dance "Jack's Health" to good effect; it is sometimes erroneously assumed to be an old English dance tune as a result. In fact, choreographer Pat Shaw created an interpretation of the dance "Jack's Health" in the early 1970's, and, according to Graham Christian[1], Jim Morrison further revised it and was responsible for the substitution of the old Playford tune for "Bolt the Door."
