Re: [scots-l] Jig classifications

[AIKUNTZ]

Thanks to Jan, Jack, Bruce and Steve for their replies to my query about jig classifications. Bruce, the slip jig has been described as having a "pineapple, pineapple, pineapple" rhythm (i.e. three groups of eight notes), while the hop jig sounds like "humpty, humpty, humpty," similar to the difference between a double and a single jig (i.e. the latter featuring a quarter note followed by and eighth note pattern rather than eighth note groups).

Regards,
