BOB CHADDUCH'S JIG. AKA and see "King Pin." American, 'Sand Jig'. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A "sand jig" is a designation for a synchopated type of dance tune popular in the mid-19th century. It received its name from the practice of sanding the stage to reduce friction and facilitate the brushing of the shoes. "King Pin" is related in the first strain. Provenance for the tune has yet to be determined. It appears in the Scottish collections of Köhler and Kerr, both of which predate Ryan's 1883 collection (1881 and c. 1875, respectively), however in the Köhler's volume (edited by W.B. Laybourn) it is in a section labelled "American Tunes."
