Thread Name: Sand Jig - What is it ?
Subject: Sand Jig - What is it ?
I recently purchased a book from a series called The Australian Music Books. I have not found a date of publication but I would guess at about 1920. The book contains many jigs, reels, hornpipes, country dances etc that are popular today. It also contains two Sand Jigs. I have not heard this expression before – can anyone explain it to me.

The two tunes are called My Fancy and Who's Dat Knocking. Both are in 4/4 time. I haven't played either of them yet (I only bought the book yesterday) but they look like reels.
