OWEN MALONE (Eogan Ua Maoileoin). Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). AKA and see "Molony's Jig," "Miss Dawson's Whim, "Trip to Denmark (1)." G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The two-part melody was first published in Glasgow by James Aird under the title "Miss Dawson's Whim." Later, it was published in Irish violinist R.M. Levely's 2nd collection (1873) as "Molony's Jig"; 'Malone' and 'Molony' are so close as to strongly suggest one title was a mishearing of the other. A Welsh version can be found as "Trip to Denmark (1)." The first strain is shared with with the earlier English "Shepherd's Jigg" and "Trip to Ankerwick," although the second strains differ.

He is listed as the source for five tunes in O'Neill's Music of Ireland, although O'Neill has recorded nothing about him in his writings, save for the acknowledgment appended to each melody[1].
