BIRD ON THE WING. AKA and see "Mechanics' Hall Jig." American, Dance Tune (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Tune is listed as a 'jig' in Ryan's Mammoth Collection, meaning an old-time banjo tune probably associated with the sand jig dance, a type of solo dance performed on a floor that had been sanded to reduce friction and facilitate the brushing of the shoes. See also parts 5 and 6 of "Kitty O'Neill's Champion Jig."
