BUTCHER BOY [1], THE. American, Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Listed as a 'jig' in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883), referring to a composition in the style of old-time syncopated banjo tunes rather than the Irish 6/8 jig. Kerr lists it as a "clog dance," and White's as a "sand jig." These titles indicate its use as a vehicle for clog or step-dancing, probably for the stage -- a 'sand jig' refers to the practice of spreading sand on the stage to facilitate the sliding of the dancer's shoes on the floor.
