DENVER BELLE. American, Reel (cut time). USA, Ky. C Major ('A' part) & G Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB' (Phillips). "Denver Belle" is part country rag, part breakdown, and comes from the playing of bluegrass fiddler Kenny Baker (1926-2011) who received it from his Kentucky family; his grandfather, aunt, and father all played it. The city of Denver, Colorado, was named for James Denver, soldier and administrator on the western frontier. Ultimately the name can be traced to a place-name near Norfolk, England, where Denver was derived from Dena faer, the 'crossing place of the Danes' in the marshy land close the the Great Ouse (Matthews, 1972). Silberberg and Phillip's parts are reversed from one another. A different tune by this name (as played by Frazier Moss) is a version of "Duck's Eyeball (1)" or "Wait in the Kitchen 'Till the Cook Comes In."
