TIDAL WAVE. American, Dance Tune (2/4 time). F Major ('A' part) & C Major ('B' part), with Trio in B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABBC. Composed by Eddie Fox. The tune is listed as a 'jig', referring not to the familiar Irish 6/8-time jig but rather a type of syncopated 19th century duple-time banjo tune, sometimes called a 'sand jig'. See “annotation:Annie Hughes' Jig,” also composed by Fox, for a sketch of the man.
