GET OUT OF MY SIGHT OR I'LL BOX YOUR EARS. Irish, Jig. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. Identified as a "Bagpipe Tune" in the R.M. Levey collection, to be played "Droningly." Levey's real name was Richard Michael O'Shaughnessy, born at Dublin in 1811 and died there in 1899. He was a very talented professional violinist, and something of a prodigy as his talents matured early. His name change was undertaken for business reasons.
