Jumpy

A fun tune but I don’t know if it is traditional or not… The only reference I have found to this so far is on Fiddler’s Companion “JUMPY JIG. Canadian, Jig. WMT002, Wendy MacIsaac – “That’s What You Get” (1998?).” Possibly she penned it since they do not include the abc notation.

Here is a YouTube recording of Wendy playing it - starts at about 1 minute in:

And one of the SF Scottish Fiddlers playing it - first tune:

Enjoy!
