GUEST,Les B.	Tune Origin: 'Little Egypt'? (27)	RE: Tune Origin: 'Little Egypt'?	22 Sep 04
Fascinating info - I hadn't realized until a few years ago that Pee Wee King added the "hootchy kootchy" part - I'd always thought it was part of the traditional tune. When Bill Sables and Allan C. took their Mudcat jaunt around the states a few years ago we all met up at Alice's in Montana. I well remember starting to play Bonaparte's Retreat on the mandolin and when I got to that part Bill stopped and stared and said "there's no Arabic part to that tune!?!" So I went and did some web research and found out, sure enough, it was an added part. Ah, the folk process.
