KITTY IN THE FOG. AKA and see "Kitten and the Frog (The)," "County Down (1)." American, March (6/8 time). USA, southwestern Pa. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A fife band tune also known to fiddlers, collected in southwestern Pa. The tune, according to Bayard (1981), belongs to a rather etherial and unnamed but originally Irish tune family whose members include "Young Tom Ennis," "Banks of Lough Gowna," "Stonecutter's Jig (The)," "One Bottle More (2)," "Rambler from Clare (1) (The)," "Mug of Brown Ale (2) (The)," "Ball of Ballynafeidh (The)/Humors of Ballynafeidh," and others, usually floating, titles. The sets of the family usually stray in either the first or second parts and "always seem to be diverging off into other pieces" (p. 530).
