Back to Jump at the Sun
JUMP AT THE SUN. English, Jig. G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed in the early 1970's by English melodeon player John Kirkpatrick [1] of Shropshire, England. Kirkpatrick communicated to Susan Songer (1997) that he later heard the opening four notes in the dream sequence of Walt Disney's Dumbo, though he denies a conscious connection. The tune was very popular in Australia and New Zealand after an influential recording of it by the band The Bushwackers. It has also been played by bluegrass musicians and Irish traditional musicians.
