Tune properties and standard notation
DUCK'S EYEBALL [1]. AKA and see "Wait in the Kitchen (Till the Cook Comes In)." Old-Time. The title comes from one of the silly verses sung to the tune. Kerry Blech calls it a variant of "Richmond." "Duck's Eyeball" was in the repertoire of western Virginia fiddler Luther Davis (as "Right in the middle of a duck's eyeball"). It may have sometimes been called "Duck's Asshole." Tommy Magness recorded the tune in 1948 (along with many others in his older traditional repertoire) for a private recording for fiddler Roy Acuff on an old home disc recorder (Charles Wolfe, Classic Country, p. 148, 2001).
