Okay, I've gotten so many different reports on "Off to California": GUEST Kathleen above says it's a schottische. Somebody else told me it was a polka. I was told that an alternate title is "Whiskey Hornpipe" and have always played it as a hornpipe on both fiddle and Appalachian dulcimer (on which it's pretty easy to tell the difference among the three since they use different strums).

What the Hell is it?
