CIDER MILL. AKA - "Cider." AKA and see "Stillhouse." Old-Time, Breakdown. D Major. ADae tuning (fiddle). ABB'. A Blue Ridge dance tune, popular in Patrick County and the Galax, Va./Mt. Airy, N.C. areas. Paul Tyler finds the following vignette in W.H. Venable's Footprints of the Pioneers of the Ohio Valley: A Centennial Sketch (1888):
The old-time apple-cutting was an occasion of unbounded mirth. . . . After the apples were cut, and the cider boiled, the floor was cleared for a "frolic," technically so-called, and merry were the dancers and loud the songs with which our fathers and mothers regaled the flying hours. The fiddler was a man of importance, and when, after midnight, he called the "Virginia Reel," such shouting, such laughter, such clatter of hilarious feet upon the sanded puncheon floor, startled the screech-owl out of doors, and waked the baby from its sweet slumber in the sugar-trough. . . . The apple-cutting was fifty years ago . . .
