According to John Drewry's Silver City Book, where Jennifer's Jig (the
dance) is published, the tune is by Drummond Cook. DanceData says that
it appears in a collection called the `Tae Gar Ye Loup Book 1', which
also seems to contain a bunch of other popular Drummond Cook tunes such
as the Back Shore Hornpipe, The Knock of Braemoray and the eponymous Tae
Gar Ye Loup.

Anyone know where to buy this? I think I could use a copy.
