GUEST,jofield	lyr/Origins: Big Sciota (37)	Big Sciota	07 Feb 01
Howdy all. Long time no write. A group I pick with over in Paris have discovered a fiddle tune called "Big Sciota". I listened to a rendition on the Web by something called Rhythm Exchange. The tune doesn't do much for me -- no blues in it. Anyways, my French "copins" are wondering if anyone has any information about the tune. They are under the impression that Sciota refers to the town in Pennsylvania and that there is a river of the same name nearby. They also allude to a connection with the Iroquois indians. Anyone able to shed further light on this?
