JACKSON'S FAMILY. Irish, Set Dance (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The melody appears in Church of Ireland cleric wikipedia:James_Goodman (musicologist)'s mid-19th century music manuscripts (vol. 1, p. 20). Goodman (1828-1896) was an uilleann piper, and an Irish speaker who collected locally in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster. He also obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed collections. "Jackson's Family," while in jig time (6/8) has extra measures in the second and fourth strains, usually indicating the tune was played for a specific group of dance steps: a set dance. The tune can also be found (as "Jackson's Family Piece") in the mid-19th century music manuscript in the possession of D. Curtin of Stagmount, Rockchapel, Co Cork (No. 62, p. 25 [1]).
