John Reischman learned “Good Ax Elve” from fiddler Brad Leftwich, who got it from a book of Missouri fiddle tunes, and John teaches it in his latest Old-Time Mandolin lesson. A “helve” is an ax handle, which may explain the title. It sounds like it could be a version of “The Cuckoo’s Nest.” https://ow.ly/951u50SoEL6 #mandolin #pegheadnation #oldtimemusic | Peghead Nation

Hop jigs are in 9/8, the same time signature as slip jigs, but they’re usually played a little faster than slip jigs, and have more of a quarter-eighth feel.
