'''RACHEL [1].''' AKA and see "[[St. Louis Quickstep]]." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB (Christeson): AA'BB' (Phillips). “Rachael” was part of the fiddle/clawhammer banjo "band" repertory in Patrick County, southwestern Va., according to Tom Carter and Blanton Owen (1976). Frank Maloy remembers Tommy Magness playing the tune in the 1940's over WSM, and a 78 RPM version was recorded by fiddler Tommy Jackson, both of which did much to popularise the melody so that it has wide currency in the South. “Rachel” is frequently heard in informal Missouri jam sessions (Maloy), and it is played by influential fiddlers from that state such as central Missour fiddlers Taylor McBaine and Charlie Walden (Beisswenger). There is great similarity with “[[Texas Quickstep (1)]],” to the point that the only differences in some versions are the reversal of parts from each other (see note for that tune). In addition to “[[St. Louis Quickstep]],” Beisswenger (2008) also reports links with West Virginia fiddler Sam Hacker’s “[[California Quickstep]]” and Kentucky fiddler Buddy Thomas’s “[[Short's Addition]].” Gary Harrison finds Illinois versions under the titles “[[Gypsies in the Wood]]” and “[[Little Rock]],” while Jeff Titon remarks that a similar Kentucky tune is “[[Smokey Hornpipe]].” Still other melodies that bear resemblance to “Rachel” are James “Skeeter” Walden’s “[[Tom Hickey]]” (Beisswenger), “[[Cowboy's Dream (1)]]” (Meade), and the first strain of “[[Old Homestead (The)]]” (Jarman). | '''RACHEL [1].'''

RACHEL [1]. AKA and see "St. Louis Quickstep." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB (Christeson): AA'BB' (Phillips). “Rachael” was part of the fiddle/clawhammer banjo "band" repertory in Patrick County, southwestern Va., according to Tom Carter and Blanton Owen (1976). Frank Maloy remembers Tommy Magness playing the tune in the 1940's over WSM, and a 78 RPM version was recorded by fiddler Tommy Jackson, both of which did much to popularise the melody so that it has wide currency in the South. “Rachel” is frequently heard in informal Missouri jam sessions (Maloy), and it is played by influential fiddlers from that state such as central Missour fiddlers Taylor McBaine and Charlie Walden (Beisswenger). There is great similarity with “Texas Quickstep (1),” to the point that the only differences in some versions are the reversal of parts from each other (see note for that tune). In addition to “St. Louis Quickstep,” Beisswenger (2008) also reports links with West Virginia fiddler Sam Hacker’s “California Quickstep” and Kentucky fiddler Buddy Thomas’s “Short's Addition.” Gary Harrison finds Illinois versions under the titles “Gypsies in the Wood” and “Little Rock,” while Jeff Titon remarks that a similar Kentucky tune is “Smokey Hornpipe.” Still other melodies that bear resemblance to “Rachel” are James “Skeeter” Walden’s “Tom Hickey” (Beisswenger), “Cowboy's Dream (1)” (Meade), and the first strain of “Old Homestead (The)” (Jarman).
The title “Rachael” or “Rachael’s Hornpipe,” has been attributed to Rachael Jackson, wife of President Andrew Jackson, according to the Texas Old Time Fiddling Association’s website [1]. There does not seem to be any corroborating evidence for this assertion.
