WEAVILY WHEAT. Old-Time, Song Tune (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A song and play-party tune mentioned in Will Allen Dromgoole's Sunny Side of the Cumberland (1886). The play-party had figures similar to those of the Virginia Reel, and was popular at church socials in north Georgia and Florida in the last decades of the 19th century where it was known as "Twistification" [Phil Jamison, Hoedowns, Reels and Frolics, 2015, p. 109]. It was recorded as having been danced at Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, in the 1940's.
