Back to Picking of Sticks
PICKING OF/UP STICKS. AKA and see "Kitty McGee/Magee," "Lavena." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time ). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The melody was published by Playford under this title in his English Dancing Master (1651), though the original title of the tune appears to have been "Lavena." Barnes (1986) notes that during the siding part of the country dance to the tune "Kitty McGee" is often played, in the form ABB,AABB,ABB. Does the title refer to the morris dance practice of stick-dances?
