DOCTOR HECOCK'S. AKA - "Dr. Hekok." American, "Jig" (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCDE. The tune is referred to as a jig, a meaning derived from the English "jigg" meaning a solo dance (as in a 'morris jigg'). Minstrel musician and composer Dan Emmett spelled it "Dr. Hekok." The tune can be found in early banjo tutors.
