Beautiful performance. Isn’t the second jig “The Geese in the Bog”?

Yes, the second tune is best known by that title. The funny part is that the first tune is known by the same title! I think at some point, somebody got their birds mixed up, though; Denis Murphy called the first tune The LARK in the Bog. This makes more sense to me, seeing that it bears more than a passing resemblance to “The Lark In The Morning”. Most interesting!
