ORIGINAL CANADIAN HOEDOWN. Canadian, American; Breakdown. USA, northwestern USA. A Major ('A' part) & E Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'.

Source for notated version: Joe Pancerzewski (northeastern USA), the 'fiddling engineer,' who learned the tune at the Queensland Ballroom, Regina, Saskatchewan, in 1932.
