STON(E)Y POINT [1]. AKA and see "Stony Point Reel" (Pa. title), “Buck Creek Girls,” “Booker’s Bluff,” "Hop Along Sally," “Hop Skip Squirrel,” "Hop Squirrel," “Off with Your Jacket,” "Old Dad," "Pigtown Fling," "Wild Horse," "Wild Horses at Stoney Point," "White Horse (3)". "Kelton's Reel." American and British Isles; Breakdown and Reel.USA, widely known. G Major ('A' and 'C' parts), E Aeolian ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC (Brody): AABBCCDD (Christeson): AA'BC (Bayard). Christeson (1973) says it was descended from "Kelton's Reel", published in Ryan's Jigs and Reels. Early printings in the United States includeOld Dan Emmett’s Original Banjo Melodies (1844) as “Old Dad,” with words. It also can be found in Winner’s Music of the Dance (1866) as “Stony Point Reel.” The tune may take the nameStony Pointfrom the Revolutionary War battle in which Mad Anthony Wayne successfully assaulted a fortified position on the lower Hudson River. The tune is known locally as "Hop Squirrel" in the Franklin/Floyd County area of Virginia, but a similar title for the melody, called “Hop Skip Squirrel,” was in the repertoire of Wade Enloe ofEldon, Missouri, in the north Ozarks (Bill Rogers, personal communication). See also the Mid-West variant “Walk Along John (1),” and the related “N....r in the Woodpile [2].” Can be found in Elias Howe's Jigs and Reels''under the title "Kelton's Reel" and in White's Unique Collection of Jigs and Reels (Boston, 1896) under "Pig‑Town Fling."
