Nehi	6/8 jig time in american old thymemusic (8)	RE: 6/8 jig time in american old thymemusic	27 Feb 09
After doing a little research, it seems that reels were more popular in the Southern Colonies than jigs. Most of the music played at the southern highlands were derived from the reels of Scotland and Ireland and therefore were based on 2/2, 2/4 and 4/4 time. Of course there were exceptions, such as "The Irish Washerwoman" being used extensively in the Southwest for dances.
