  • Strange that it is titled a jig since it is not in jig time . It is a great tune though miss named and the performers are very entertaining.

  • just a fiddle and some southern percussion- yet the song could not be more complete. Best use of bones I think I've ever heard.

  • @dirteaa: I think golddragon1967 means what time signature, not when in history.

    @golddragon: I think it's actually something like 2/4, and Justin's stamping is syncopated in the second part. If you clap along using single claps, you'll see that you can clap evenly even while he's stamping unevenly.

  • Beautiful. These folks are so talented. I hope to see them live someday.

  • @golddragon, I think according to the commentary before they start playing the song we can assume it was created during the 1800s. 

  • What time is this song written in? there is something very odd in the feel of the rhythm. like a dragging feel a longing.
