SKIPPIN' CAT. American, Breakdown or Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed in 1978 by one-time Gypsy Gyppo fiddler Jack Link (Seattle, Washington); originally an old-timey tune, it is also played frequently by contra dance musicians. The title refers to dried out animal carcasses known as “road kill;” excellent frisbees.
