Cotton Eyed Joe (4)

 COTTON EYED JOE [4]. Canadian, Breakdown. Canada, Ontario. A Major. The Canadian "Cotton Eyed Joe," as played by Gerry Robichaud, for example, is a different tune than the Southern "Cotton Eyed Joe" [1]. Vivian Williams believes it was one of the "required tunes" at the Shelburne, Ontario, fiddlers contest at one time. Ken Perlman (1996), who collected the tune on Prince Edward Island, believes Canadian versions probably derived from the playing of radio and TV Maritime fiddler Don Messer (the 'B' part is played with a strong Acadian flavor). Recorded source: Fretless 201, Gerry Robichaud--"Maritime Dance Party."
