Hello all. As I mentioned in another thread ("What was sung in Ontario..."), I'm looking for a gig at a pioneer re-creation village that has some Pennsylvania Dutch heritage.

Does anyone know any old songs or fiddle tunes that would be characteristic of the Pennsylvania Dutch?

Also, I thought that Pennsylvania Dutch was synonymous with Mennonites/Amish, but the person I spoke to said that the original village founders were "Pennsylvania Dutch Lutherans." As I understand it, Anabaptists and Lutherans are historically quite separate religious strains. Do you think this person just had it wrong? Or does Pennsylvania Dutch mean more than Mennonite/Amish?

Thanks, Marion
