GET ON DE TRAIN. American, "Sand Jig" (4/4 or cut time). A Major (Cole/Ryan): A Major (Kerr). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBA'A' (Cole): AABBA'A" (Kerr). Ryan's Mammoth Collection credits composition of the melody to Frank Livingston, one of several under his name in the collection. A 'sand jig' was a duple-time syncopated dance tune bearing no relation to the Irish jig. Rather, 'jig' in this context is more in the English (morris) sense, meaning a solo dance. The sand jig was meant to be performed on a stage that had been strewn with sand, to facilitate the movement of the stepping. Musician and historian Vic Gammon states: "The tune...is most interesting because it presages the use of a chord based on the flattened sixth note of the scale, a harmonic effect that Scott Joplin uses in the first part of 'Maple Leaf Rag' (1896)[1].
