BOYS OF ANTRIM, THE. American, Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (McQuillen): AA'BB' (Songer). Composed by Peterborough, New Hampshire, contra-dance keyboard musician and composer Bob McQuillen. The title does not reference County Antrim in Ireland, but rather the pupils of Antrim, New Hampshire, where McQuillen taught school. It may also be an oblique reference to Randy and Rodney Miller, among others, musicians from Antrim, New Hampshire.
