Tune properties and standard notation
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.
