JERSEY LIGHTNING. American, Dance Tune (2/4 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Labelled a 'jig' in Ryan's Mammoth Collection, referring not to the familiar 6/8 Irish jig, but rather to a type of syncopated old-time banjo tune often known as a "straight" or "sand" jig (as it was performed on a sanded stage). The title may refer to a dance step, although it is more likely that it refers to illegal moonshine. In fact, since Colonial times 'Jersey Lightning' has referred to applejack (hard cider).
