 CAMP MEETING NO. 2. American, (Sand) Jig {cut time}. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABBCCD. Similar to "Camp Meeting." The tune is listed as a "jig" in Cole, which refers not the Irish 6/8 jig but rather to a type of syncopated solo dance tune often performed on stage in the mid-19th century. A sand jig refers to the practice of sanding the floor to reduce friction and to facilitate the brushing movements of the shoes.
