Annotation:Devil Shake the Half-Breed (2)
Tune properties and standard notation
DEVIL SHAKE THE HALF-BREED [2]. AKA and see "Calum Crubach," "Devil in the Kitchen [1]," "Gurren's Castle," "Miss Sarah Drummond of Perth [1]," "Miss Drummond of Perth [1]," "Mountain Reel [4]," "Our Highland Cousins," "The Prince of Wales Jig," "The Titanic Highland," "Yorkshire Bite [1]." Paul Gifford finds this melody almost identical to Ryan's Mammoth Collection's "Mountain Reel [4]," which belongs to the "Miss Drummond of Perth" family of tunes. It was played by Chippewa fiddler Bill Cameron (Brimley, Michigan), however, the title appears to be a 'floater', as it was also applied to a variant of "Rickett's Hornpipe."
