X:141189 T:O'CAROLAN'S MAGGOT S:CAR-OS Z:Z: Gilb/Brennan/Black Q:1/4=100 N:N: 1:"It's not what it sounds like! A 'maggot-man' was a serving-man-of-all- N:trades, roughly equivalent to a handy-man-cum-whatever. Used in John N:Carr's catch announcing publication of Playford's 'English Dancing Master' N:in 1651, O'Carolan was presumably conversant with the term as that catch N:remained popular for some sixty years or so." (Brennan's note) N:N: 2:This sounded incomplete with only six measures in Part 2, so I added N:the last two measures. The more maggot better, right?
