YELLOW JOKE [3]. AKA – "Yellow Joak." English, Triple Hornpipe (3/2 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune first appears in Daniel Wright's Wright's Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances (London, 1731). There were several "Joak" or "Joke" tunes published in the 1730's, in imitation of the immensely popular "Black Joke (1) (The)." They typically were named after colors: white, brown, yellow, red, and often had irregular parts; six bars followed by a ten-bar part.
