STOP TUNE. AKA and see "Take Your Hat off to the Ladies." American, March (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Bayard (1944) thinks perhaps this was originally a stage piece. The title comes from a theatric affectation; somewhere in the course of playing, the performer would stop and take off his hat.
