SAINT JOHN'S HOEDOWN. AKA - "St. John's Hoedown." Canadian, Reel (cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). The tune is from New Brunswick fiddler Ned Landry (1921-2018) and named for the city of Saint John, New Brunswick. Landry does mostly shuffle bowing through the chord progression for the second strain. "Saint John's Hoedown" was also in the repertoire of, and recorded by, North Dakota fiddler Joe Pancerzewski (1905-1991) who played many Canadian tunes and was heavily influenced by Canadian styles.
