YOU BET. American, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The composition is credited to James (“Jimmy”) Hand in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883), but clearly the ‘A’ part belongs to the “Off/Going to California [1]” family of tunes, a rather numerous and widespread strain (there are other examples contained in the same collection). There is also a Johnny Hand to whom several tunes are attributed in Ryans, and they were perhaps brothers from the Boston area, or father and son.

-'''YOU BET'''. American, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by James (“Jimmy”) Hand, according to '''Ryan’s Mammoth Collection''' (1883), but the ‘A’ part is very similar to “Off/Going to California [1].” There is also a Johnny Hand to whom several tunes are attributed in Ryans, and they probably were brothers from the Boston area, or perhaps father and son.
