No Art it wasn't a riverboat named after a gay sioux indian...I wondered about this melody, a very lively tune from "The English Dancing Master" 1st ed. 1651 by John Playford (1623-1686) while thinking about old old folk tunes. Do any of our scholars know more about it? I imagined a fiddle tune known to many currently would have a similar melody...can anyone tell me more about it and the companion tune "Of noble race was Shinkin"? harpgirl
