JUMP FINGERS. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Nebraska, Missouri. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was one of '100 essential Missouri tunes' listed by Missouri fiddler Charlie Walden. Described as a "parlor novelty piece" by Mark Wilson. Composition credit is claimed by George "Jeffie" Pounds, who was playing the tune in a barber shop that happened at the same time to be patronized by Nebraska fiddler Bob Walters. Walters listened to it a few times, then played it expertly himself, causing the exasperated Pounds to rush out of the shop (see liner notes to Rounder CD0375).
Source for notated version: George Pounds via Bob Walters (both Burt County, Nebraska, fiddlers) [Christeson]; Lonnie Robertson (1908-1981, Springfield, Mo.), learned from Bob Walters [Beisswenger & McCann].
Printed sources: Beisswenger & McCann (Ozarks Fiddle Music), 2008; p. 117. R.P. Christeson (Old Time Fiddlers Repertory, vol. 1), 1973; p. 41.
Recorded sources: Marimac 9054, The Ill-Mo Boys - "Fine as Frog Hair" (1995). Missouri State Old Time Fiddlers' Association, Uncle Bob Walters - "Old Time Fiddler's Repertory" (1976). Rounder CD 0375, Lonnie Robertson - "Lonnie's Breakdown" (2008. Originally recorded 1978).
