Tiger Jig.

I "discovered" this one a couple of days ago when I stumbled upon Joel Hooks' article in Banjo Sessions about the grand (re)opening of the American Banjo Museum (http://archive.banjosessions.com/dec09/hooks.html) At the end of the article he offers this piece along with notation and tab. Thanks Joel!

Good stuff. I was inspired to learn this when I saw Joel's video too. I always thought it had kind of a Creole feel to it - the B part is almost like a tango. I can imagine Jelly Roll Morton taking a run at it.

Thanks Ian.  Right -- those first 4 notes of the B part, i can see a couple gliding across the floor...
