Tune properties and standard notation


GET LOST JIG. American, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by Ralph Page (1903-1985, New Hampshire), the "dean of the contra dance callers," and a seminal figure in New England traditional dance and music for 40 years [www.izaak.unh.edu/nhltmd/pagehome.htm]. Writing in his publication Northern Junket (vol. 6, No. 7, 1958), Page remarked (as quoted by Randy Miller, 2004): "It seems that every time we play in Weston we get lost before arriving at the hall."
