<p>I was raised here in Rochester and my family has lived here for many generations, and I first became interested in early banjo after hearing Tim Twiss play this tune on Youtube, though I had no idea about the history of the tune. I'm learning the style now slowly...well I have Juba down...but I want to learn this tune to connect with local history. </p>

<p>You just made my morning, Andy. That was all utterly fascinating. And now I know "the rest of the story"............. behind the Blue Eagle Jail. Great playing on your vid, too.</p>

<p>Thanks for the good tune-sleuthing, Andy. I've just been learning Blue eagle Jail and I thought it sounded like "The Jolly Miller" too. It's one of those archetype tunes that's related to a whole lot of others, including (Irish chestnuts) Star of The County Down and Coleraine. My Granny used to sing me The Jolly Miller when I was little.</p>
<p>I seem to recall it has very cynical lyrics to be sing to a four years old!</p>
