Notation Note: The tunes below are recorded in what is called “abc notation.” They can easily be converted to standard musical notation via highlighting with your cursor starting at “X:1” through to the end of the abc’s, then “cutting-and-pasting” the highlighted notation into one of the many abc conversion programs available, or at concertina.net’s incredibly handy “ABC Convert-A-Matic” at

http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html 

 

**Please note that the abc’s in the Fiddler’s Companion work fine in most abc conversion programs. For example, I use abc2win and abcNavigator 2 with no problems whatsoever with direct cut-and-pasting. However, due to an anomaly of the html, pasting the abc’s into the concertina.net converter results in double-spacing. For concertina.net’s conversion program to work you must remove the spaces between all the lines of abc notation after pasting, so that they are single-spaced, with no intervening blank lines. This being done, the F/C abc’s will convert to standard notation nicely. Or, get a copy of abcNavigator 2 – its well worth it.   [AK]

PARESIS. AKA and see “The Sailor’s Return [1].” American, Reel. F Major. Standard tuning. AAB. Paul Cranford (1997) finds the tune related to Robert MacIntosh’s 18th century strathspey “Lady Dalrymple.” It was a favorite of fiddlers Angus Chisholm and Winston Fitzgerald, as well as many other fiddlers of their generation on Cape Breton. O’Neill prints a reel version under the title “The Sailor’s Return.” Paresis refers to, among other things, the debilitating end-stage of syphilis. Brooks McNamara, writing in his book the New York Concert Saloon: The Devil’s Own Nights (2002), says that the anxiety about gay bars being sources for disease transmission was even more pronounced in the latter 1800’s than it is today, although there was little that was publicly written about the issue. 

***

The scanty evidence that remains suggests that at least a few of the gay saloons—for example,

“Paresis Hall” at 392 Bowery—may have had shows, probably mostly presented by customers.

But we know little about them. In an 1899 investigation, for example, we are told only that

at Paresis Hall, “they had promised to give a show, as they call it, and it seems that the thing

fell through.” And in the same report, that customers “get up and sings as women, and dance.”  (pg. 79)

USA, Ky. C Major. Standard. A favorite tune of blind eastern Kentucky fiddler Ed Hayley (1883‑1951), who knew the melody by the above title, which may possibly reflect the locale in which Hayley learned the tune (i.e. around Parkersburg, Kentucky).

PARKS OF YESTER, THE. Scottish, English; Jig (9/8 time). England, Northumberland. D Major (Gow): G Major (Bruce & Stokoe, Peacock). Standard tuning. AB (Gow): AABB (Peacock, Stokoe & Bruce). The title probably refers to the grounds at Yester House, Haddingtonshire. Yester is the name of a parish originally known as St Bothans or St. Bathans. Yester is the ancient name of the of the Marquis of Tweeddale’s estate, and appears to be derived from the Cambro British word Ystrad or Yestred, signifying a strath or vale. This describes the terrain, which forms a strath on the banks of a stream called Gifford water, a tributary of the Tyne. The Gows dedicated their Third Collection (1792) to the Marquis of Tweeddale, resident of Yester House, which was built by James Smith in the early years of the 18th century. The Saloon by architects William, John and Robert Adam, was described by painter Gavin Hamilton as “the finest room at least in Scotland.” Bruce & Stokoe (Northumbrian Minstrelsy), 1882; pg. 162. Carlin (The Gow Collection), 1986; No. 369. Gow (Third Collection of Niel Gow’s Reels), 1792; pg. 1 (3rd ed.). Peacock (Peacock’s Tunes), c. 1805/1980; No. 36, pg. 15.

PARNELL’S MARCH.  The tune was recorded by piper Joe McKenna under the title “Rowsome’s Jig(s),” referring to his teacher, Leo Rowsome. Harry Bradley informs the tune has a long association with the uilleann pipes, having been included in Tadhg Crowley’s 1936 pipe tutor (“published the same year as Leo Rowsome’s tutor; there hadn’t been a tutor for the pipes in over a hundred years and all of a sudden two fall out of the hat in the same year!”). He believes Crowley may have borrowed heavily from Highland Bagpipe repertoire, and thinks “Parnell’s March” may have had a pipe band association. Sol Foster (Ir-trad 12/15/05) notices the tune has a strong resemblance to Newfoundland fiddler Rufus Guinchard’s tune “Uncle Manual Milks the Cow.” Foster says the title was invented by Guinchard, and that the tune “was just a nameless one floating around the northwest portion of Newfoundland in the early 1900’s.” Topic TSCD 669, Willy Taylor, Joe Hutton & Will Atkinson (et al) – “Ranting and Reeling: Dance Music of the north of England” (1998. Atkinson {b. 1908} of Crookham, Northumberland, was an harmonica player, Taylor a fiddler and Hutton a Northumbrian small-piper).
