CROOKED STOVEPIPE [1]. AKA and see "Four O'Clock in the Morning (1)." Canadian, American; Two-Step or Polka. USA; New England, Michigan, Missouri. Canada; Ontario, Prince Edward Island. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B (Miller & Perron/1983): AABB (Johnson): AA'BB' (Begin, Miller & Perron/1978, Miskoe & Paul, Perlman, Phillips). The composition "Crooked Stovepipe (1)" has been attributed to several Canadian musicians. It is sometimes said to be the work Nova Scotia fiddlers Colin J. Boyd, or Hugh A. "Hughie" MacDonald (who garnered the sobriquet "The Polka King"), both of whom (separately) recorded the tune around 1935 (Boyd for Decca Records and MacDonald for the brand new Celtic Records of Antigonish). MacDonald was born in Lanark, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia, and was one of the first Canadian fiddlers to record Scottish fiddle music. It is said that MacDonald, who died in 1976, titled the tune for the leaning chimney at his house. MacDonald paired the tune with "Honeymoon Polka (The)", a set reprised by Don Messer in 1950.
The tune has occasionally also been said to be the work of fiddlers Omer Dumas (of Saint-Antoine-Abbé, near Châteauguay, Québec), Irish-born Canadian Jim Magill (1905-1954, Ottawa), and John Burt ()[1].
A version of the second strain of "Crooked Stovepipe [1]" can also be found in J.A. Boucher's "Reel Federesse," published in Québec in 1933. See also Métis fiddler Grandy Fagnan's version of the tune, which he calls "Four O'Clock in the Morning (1)."
Crooked Stovepipe is also the name of a dance performed to the tune, popularized in New Hampshire by the late callers Ralph Page and Duke Miller.
- ↑ Magill and Burt were connected with the Ottawa-based Harry Jarman publishing company, which first published the tune. Magill and Burt's names were often used by Jarman for copyright purposes and their names appear frequently on traditional and composed tunes, presumably as Jarman was copyrighting the arrangement. However, this is not made clear on the published music, leading to misattributions.
