    Braveheart meets Alternative Middle Eastern Folk music. This song is a wonderful fusion of Celtic sound and Middle Eastern rhythms performed on my autoharp and Andrew's Recorder. It's an instrumental song, and despite the name, it is NOT a jig. But it is beautifully performed and is often featured on MP3.com
    CD: Ichabod's Geography (1997)   Label: Mage Records
    Credits: music by Marc Gunn; Instruments-Autoharp; Andrew McKee-Recorder

    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song while watching and listening to Braveheart long before I every started playing Celtic music. Actually, I was more into playing and writing Alternative Folk Rock at the time while listening to a lot of Hawaiian music.

    The song named after my fiancee's nickname is a fast upbeat tune (not really a jig) in a bizarre metre. It then breaks off into a sorta middle eastern jazz solo with Andrew. Great groove. The original recording actually had some finger cymbals played by Amy English. But this version lacks those.
