RIGHT FOOT, LEFT FOOT. AKA and see “Duck's Eyeball (2),” "Rainbow Schottische" (Pa.), “Stephen Baldwin's Schottische,” "Winter Night Schottische." American, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The title comes from the rhyme associated with the piece:

Right foot, left foot, any foot at all,
Kitty lost her slipper going to the ball.
