Walter “Piper” Jackson was at the height of his fame and musical career during the middle 1700s. As a musician, he played fiddle and flute, but excelled especially on the uilleann pipes. When he turned his attention to composing, his true genius emerged, beginning with the above jig. What followed were dozens of wonderful jigs and reels like ‘Jackson’s Bottle of Brandy’ and ‘Jackson’s Cravat’ etc.
