'''BULL-DOZER REEL'''. American, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by one Edwin Christie, although not the same Edwin Christy of Christy's Minstrel's fame. According to '''Bulldozers''' written by Sam Sargent and Michael Alves: "Around 1880, the common usage of 'bull-dose' in the United States meant administering a large and efficient dose of any sort of medicine or punishment. If you 'bull-dosed' someone, you gave him a severe whipping or coerced or intimidated him in some other way, such as by holding a gun to his head... In 1886, with a slight variation in spelling, a 'bulldozer' had come to mean both a large-caliber pistol and the person who wielded it... By the late 1800s, 'bulldozing' came to mean using brawny force to push over, or through, any obstacle."
