One of my favorite jigs, and played very nicely! But the name is actually "Dusty Windowsills." That's the name the tune goes by on The Session, and there is information in the comments confirming that it's the name it was given by the composer, Johnny Harling, when he wrote it in the 70s. (Note that Harling was a whistler, which may be why this tune is so suited to the whistle).
@@ewelinagrygier-musicandeth4095 I think it's interesting how many names _The_ _Session_ lists for this tune, given that it is a fairly recent composition that was actually given a name by the composer (unlike, say, Paddy Fahey, who wrote a zillion tunes and never named any of them, so they are all "Paddy Fahey's"). Maybe because it's such a great tune, which means a lot of people play it, which means that there are a lot of opportunities for the name to mutate?
@@hummingfrogwhoah, what an interesintg case! To be honest, I did'nt know that it is not a traditional tune. It is normal, that recently composed great melodies (f.e. like McGoldrick's tunes) came in to the traditional or session repertoire but why this contemporary tune has changed its name? Maybe it is as you have written, it is connected with popularity and because of this possibility to mutate?
@@MichaelLevine-n6y maybe it is connected with transmission of tunes, which in some way is still oral, learned from one player to another one just by ear?
