Mark Gilston plays a well known English Renaissance tune on lap dulcimer made by Gary Gallier.
Will Kemp was a famous actor in Shakespeare's time. A 'jigg' or 'jegg' refers to a short unified set of performance pieces, as well as the dance form in triple meter (jig or gigue). This helps explain why a number of tunes called "jigg" are in 4/4 meter like this one. This is not the only tune which goes by the name of "Kemps Jigg". There is a dance in Playford's "Dancing Master" with the same name, which can lead to confusion.

I like that Jigg - and the instrument sounds really good.
Wonderful Mark and what a stunning dulcimer... how many does that make now?
Too many, But this one is a keeper (:
Thanks for the laugh Dusty. Not only the thumb but the pinky as well (:
Yes, that is Gary's newest model with a few extra modifications for my anchoring style.
Is that a Gallier dulcimer? It even looks like a Renaissance instrument!
Nice playing, as always. You should take out insurance on your left thumb.
