SHANGHAI. American, Reel (4/4 time). USA; soutwestern Pa., Maryland. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCC'CC'. There was a tune called “Shanghai” in the repertoire of West Virginia fiddler Burl Hammons. Gerry Milnes (Play of a Fiddle, 1999) speculates that the title may be associated with a winter solstice tradition of the same name in eastern West Virginia (the tradition survives in Lewisburg, Greenbriar County, W.Va., which hosts a Shanghai Parade every New Years Day, featuring costumed marchers banging pots and pans). Akin to British Isles mumming, the tradition involves dressing up in masquerade and going from house to house making mischief and/or “begging” for food. In Pendleton County the event was staged the week before Christmas. Milnes believes the word Shanghai evolved from the Gaelic sean aghaidh, or ‘old face’, which he believes associates it with the masquerading essential to the tradition. Source for notated version:
