JIG OF SLURS. Scottish (originally), Irish; Jig. Ireland, County Donegal. D Major ('A' and 'B' parts) & G Major ('C' and 'D' parts). Standard. AABBCCDD. Composed by the great Highland bagpiper G. S. MacLennan. The tune has been a staple of Scottish music sessions, and many Irish as well, so much so that it occasionally has been called, with just a little derision, the "Jar of Slugs."
