Flat-Cap Jigging!!

Came across this photo in my archives, and figured it needed a home here... :)

Flat cap jigging is derived from the early settlers of the north,when the fiddle player finished to rosin up the bow he would then break into a rendition of the red river jig,which was borrowed from an old Scottish tune,and when the masses finished jigging it was said not a flat cap was left on the jiggers head,if you were one of the slackers who had not put enough enthusiasm into your jigging that allowed your flat cap to remain on your head you were considered unworthy,now the flat caps that fell from the heads to the floor would be stomped on by the boots of the many jiggers,the caps when picked up at the end of the night would have multiple heel marks which became famous as flat cap jigging.but I could be off.

LOL! :D Brilliant! :D You could introduce the famous Blind Fiddlers of old Sheffield town (I'd post a link, but they only know a fraction of the story!) into that legend! :D :thumbsup:
