Back to Roving Blade (The)
ROVING BLADE, THE. Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first strain is similar to and perhaps cognate with the first strain of "Paddy O Finnerly." James Goodman researchers Hugh and Lisa Shields suggest a comparison with his "I wish I never saw you (4)."
