LEATHER THE WIG (Plancam Peirbig). AKA and see "Bunter's Delight (The)," "Curl the Wig," "Will You Come Plank Come Plank," "Will You Come Down to Limerick?," "Whack at the Whigs (A)," "Wig (1) (The)." Irish, English; Slip Jig. G Dorian (Cole, Haverty, Ryan): A Dorian (Raven). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The may be derived from an anti-whig song, and from a country dance tune published by John Young in the Second Volume of the Dancing Master [1] in 1713, entitled "Bunter's Delight (The)." The 'Leather the Wig' title means to thresh a wig; the hairpiece symbolizing the political Whig party. It is possible that Boston publisher Elias Howe "borrowed" the tune from P.M. Haverty's 1858 collection (published in New York) for Howe's editor William Bradbury Ryan's Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883).
