BEAUX OF OAK HILL [1]. AKA - "Beaux of Oak Hall." AKA and see "Boys of Bluehill (The)," "Boys of North Tyne," "Silver Lake (4)" (Pa.), "Jennie Baker," "Two Sisters (1) (The)." English, Scottish, American; Hornpipe (usually) or Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Cole, Kennedy, Jarman, O'Neill): AA'BB (Kerr). The tune appears as "The Two Sisters" in George P. Knauff's Virginia Reels, volume I (1839), though it usually appears as "Beaux of Oak Hill" in mid-nineteenth century collections. Paul Tyler finds a tune called the "Bows of Oak Hill" mentioned in an old issue of the Dallas Morning News as having been played by Col. William Hopkins of Kansas City on WFAA-Dallas on Dec. 1, 1922. See also note for "Annotation:Old Ark's a-Moving (The)."
