Back to Denver Belle
DENVER BELLE. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Ky. C Major ('A' part) & G Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB' (Phillips). 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 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."
Source for notated version: Paul Warren [Phillips]; Carthy Sisco [Silberberg].
Printed sources: Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes), vol. 1, 1994; p. 68. Silberberg (Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern), 2002; p. 33.
