Jean Carriginion, the French-Canadian fiddle player was a great friend of mine and played this tune often. I suspect that I picked this variation up from him.

The variation can be heard here and is also included in the notation.

This variation consists of a Scottish style skip on a note and is one I picked up from Jean Carriginion as well. Jean and I used to correspond regularly, he with little English and me with no French but we used to get on fine despite this.
