Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
This tune is probably of traditional French Canadian origin.
The tune is attributed to North Dakota fiddler Joe Pancerzewski (1905-1991),
who said he heard it when he was eight years old (c. 1913). It was named
after a small town in Saskatchewan and was brought to Pacerzewski's
region from Canada by Bill Smith. The waltz was popular at New England
and Northern contra dances for many years, popularized by the
Albany, NY, based band Fennig's All Stars.
It was printed in Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983) and Matthiesen's Waltz Book I (1992).
It has been recorded by Bill Spence and Fennig's All Stars on The Hammered Dulcimer,
Joe Pancerzewski on The Fiddling Engineer and
Pete McMahan on 50 Old-Time Fiddle Gems.
I learned it from the Fennig's All Stars The Hammered Dulcimer album.
