Here are two jaunty little tunes that you often hear in a set together. Some might not approve of the triplets I like to put in there but I think they sound alright.

ibiblio.org fiddler's companion info for Irishman's Heart to the ladies:
Irish, American, Canadian; Double Jig. USA; New England, New York, Pennsylvania. Canada; Ontario, Prince Edward Island. A Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Cited as having commonly been played for country dances in Orange County, New York in the 1930's (Lettie Osborn, New York Folklore Quarterly).

and for mason's apron: Irish, Scottish, English, Shetlands, Canadian, American; Reel. A Major (most versions): A Mixolydian (Roche):G Major (some Irish versions). Standard or AEae tunings. The melody is Scottish in origin, according to most sources, despite having been strongly associated with Irish fiddling tradition in the present day. Early Scots versions appear in Alexander McGlashan's (173?‑1797) collections under the titles "The Isla Reel" and "Braes of Glenorchy".
