"The Mason-Dixon Schottische", also known as "California Dance," "California Hornpipe",<br> "Limber Neck Blues," "The Nightingale", "Peacock Rag", "Rustic Dance", "Rustic Hornpipe" or<br> "Starlight Clog" is an American schottische in C Major or D Major. The parts are played<br> AA'BB'.<br> The tune is a member of the large "Rustic Dance" tune family, wherein the first strain is<br> the dominant part, sometime attached to different second strains. "Mason-Dixon Schottische"<br> mirrors "Rustic Dance's" two strains closely both harmonically and melodically, with the<br> most differentiation in the second strain melody. <br> It was collected from Marion Yoders in Greene County, Pa. (1961), Walter Neal in<br> Armstrong County, Pa. (1952) and Wilber Neal in Jefferson County (1948) by Samuel Bayard.<br> It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981).<br>
