Tune properties and standard notation
JOHNNY HAND'S. American, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by J. Hand himself as the initials "J.H." are printed with the tune in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). New York City researcher, writer and musician Don Meade believes James (Jimmy) and John (Johnny) Hand may have been brothers (or perhaps father-son) and fiddlers from Boston, Massachusetts, in the mid-19th century. There are several tunes attributed to the Hands in Ryan's.
