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]

POCA RIVER BLUES. AKA and see "East Tennessee Blues." Old‑Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. An uncommon title for a fairly well‑known tune, recorded by Clendenin, Kanawha Valley, West Virginia fiddler Reese Jarvis (1900‑1967). Charles Wolfe (Mountains of Music, John Lilly ed., 1999) thinks Kanawha County, West Virginia, fiddler Clark Kessinger (1896-1975) may have learned the tune growing up in the Kanawha Valley. Kessinger re-recorded the tune in the 1970’s, although the liner notes to his album states that he learned “Poca River” from Jarvis. His rendition was much more “bluegrassy” by that time and featured a long pizzicato section. The Poca River is in West Virginia, near Charleston. Brunswick 358 (78 RPM), Reese Jarvis (1928). County 733, "The Legend of Clark Kessinger" (learned from Reese Jarvis). Folkways 02337, “Clark Kessinger Live at Union Grove.”

"'The Poet's Grave' is a delightful, solemn dirge, the editor never heard from any other but his father, repeated on his frist reading Dr. Currie's edition of Burns, which gives such a moving picture of the bard's fate. No single instrument but the organ can do it full justice, but it must be delightful with either a full vocal or instrumental harmony" (Fraser).

POLK COUNTY BREAKDOWN. Old‑Time, Breakdown. A Major. Composed by Tommy Magness, who recorded it in the 1940s while playing with Roy Acuff's Smoky Mt. Boys. In 1947 he recorded the tune again on a home disc recorder under the title “Death of Kilroy.” “Polk County Breadown” is one of ‘100 essential Missouri tunes’ listed by Missouri fiddler Charlie Walden.  Heritage 060, Art Galbraith ‑ "Music of the Ozarks" (Brandywine, 1984).

                       

POLKA. A couple-dance form from central Europe which found favor and spread in the mid-19th century, from 1844 onwards. Paul Gifford communicates that a leading dance master from New York, Allen Dodworth, claimed in a book he penned that he had introduced the polka to the society of that city in 1843. Dodworth had just returned from Paris where he learned the dance, and where he repeatedly went to learn the newest fashions. The title page to the “Jenny Lind Polka,” published in 1844, states that it is “as played by Dodworth’s Coronet Band.” The form found its way into Irish traditional music and was especially popular in the South-West of the country.  In Scotland the polka is catagorized as a Circle Dance along with the waltz, the various forms of the mazurka, varsovienne and schottische. The Polka was not introduced to the country districts of Shetland until after 1890 (Flett & Flett, 1964).

A Dorian (Mulvihill). Standard tuning. AB (O'Neill/1915 & 1001): AAB (O'Neill/1850): AABB (Mitchell, Mulvihill, O'Neill/Krassen). The dance version of the air “Molly MacAlpin,” by the ancient harper Laurence O’Connellan, born at Cloonmahon, County Sligo, in the mid-17th century (c. 1645). Donal O'Sullivan in his Carolan biography (vol. 1, p. 18) reported that the Irish harper and composer O’Carolan (1670-1738) thought so highly of this tune that he was supposed to have said he would rather have been its composer than any of his own melodies. Ciaran Carson, in his book Last Night’s Fun (1996) thinks it may be possible that the title “Poll Ha’penny” may have derived from the English title “Holey Ha’penny,” since the word poll in Irish means ‘hole’. See “Molly Macalpin” for more on the history of this tune. See also the related English tune “The Radstock Jig.” The famous uilleann piper Patsy Tuohey, one of Francis O’Neill’s informants, recorded this tune on an Edison cylinder. It was recorded in modern times by whistle player Mary Bergin under the title “Garraí na bhFéoleóig (Garden of Butterflies). Mulvihill (1st Collection), 1986; No. 7, pg. 120 (appears as “Pol Ha’penny”). O'Neill (O’Neill’s Irish Music), 1915; No. 397, pg. 190. O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; pg. 208.
