Back to Dutch Hop
DUTCH HOP. Old-Time, Two-Step or Polka. USA, Arkansas. D Major ('A' part) & G Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Source Lon Jordan, a dance and contest fiddler with a regional reputation, recorded the tune for researcher Vance Randolph in 1941. Drew Beisswenger (2008) points out that the Dutch Hop was a polka music form that was popular in the mid-20th century (e.g. in Colorado after World War II), although he could not connect this specific tune to the form. The term 'Dutch Hop' refers to the music of the Volga Deutsch, or Germans who lived in settlements in Russia around the Volga. Large numbers of the population emigrated to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and reestablished themselves in the Great Plains states and provinces of the United States and Canada.
