COTTON EYED JOE [3]. Canadian, American; Reel. Canada, Ontario. A Major. The Canadian "Cotton Eyed Joe," as played by Gerry Robichaud, for example, can be considered different tune than the Southern U.S. "Cotton Eyed Joe (1)". Vivian Williams believes it was one of the "required tunes" at the Shelburne, Ontario, fiddlers contest at one time. Ken Perlman (1996), who collected the tune on Prince Edward Island where it has become popular among the island's fiddlers. He believes Canadian versions probably derived from the playing of radio and TV Maritime fiddler Don Messer (1909-1973); Perlman opines that the second strain is played with a strong Acadian flavor. The main "Cotton Eyed Joe" strains in this version have become much more diluted, especially in the 'B' part, which is a series of shuffled chords.
