Annotation:Kick a Dutchman: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:20, 6 May 2012

KICK A DUTCHMAN. AKA and see "Put Your Little Foot." American, Waltz or Varsouvienne. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. Same first strain (an international one) as that of tune called "Old Mazurka" in Bayard, 1981; No. 650, pp. 568-569. See also tunes "Varsoviana Waltz" and "Silver Lake Varsoviana" for other usages of the strain. Ford collected many tunes in the Midwest, primarily in Missouri, and may have had "Kick a Dutchman" from Midwest sources. Certainly Missouri tradition was to call all German-speaking people "Dutch", similar to other parts of the country (e.g. calling the Amish "Pennsylvania Dutch").
