WASHINGTON QUADRILLE. AKA and see “Up and Down Old Eagle Creek,” “Taylor’s Quickstep (2).” Old Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. C Major (‘A’ part) & G Major (‘B’ part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA’BB’. Each strain is in a different key, a format known in some parts of the United States as a "quadrille". "Flop Eared Mule (1)" is perhaps the most familiar example of this kind of tune, and is similar in character.
