"Paddy Whack (2)" is perhaps the version that is one of the "missing tunes" from Northumbrian musician William Vickers' 1770 dance manuscript collection (it is listed in the index). Although missing from Vickers' collection, it was entered in numerous other musicians’ manuscripts of the period, an indication of its popularity and wide dissemination. It can be found in America in the music manuscripts of flute player Henry Beck (1786), Elias Boynton (Pepperell, Mass, 1799), Joseph Cabot (Cambridge & Salem, Mass., 1784), John Beach (Gloucester, Mass., 1801), Sarah Brown Herreshoff (1790), Ebenezer Bevens (Middletown, Conn., 1825), and Silas Dickinson (Amherst, Mass., 1800), among numerous others (see EASMES [http://www.colonialdancing.org/Easmes/Index.htm] site for more). “Paddy Whack” also can be heard played on the mechanisms of a few surviving New England-manufactured musical clocks of the late 18th century. | "Paddy Whack (2)" is perhaps the version that is one of the "missing tunes" from Northumbrian musician William Vickers' 1770 dance manuscript collection (it is listed in the index).
