Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: USA - Midwest

This is an "old time" tune closely related to Seneca Square Dance, which originated from the Oklahoma or Missouri area. It may be named for the population of Senecas that were resettled to Oklahoma after the war of 1812, or it could be named for Seneca, Missouri. It was first recorded in 1926 by Sam Long (1876-1931), who lived in both these areas. The Southern US name for the tune, Waiting for the Federals, is likely a reference to an event in the American Civil War.

Tune Information

Author: Stephan Deibel

Origin: USA - Cambridge NY

This tune was written by Cambridge NY fiddler Stephan Deibel, around 2010 on a wilderness island in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. "While I was writing the tune, a boating party in a beautiful old wooden boat happened by. Suddenly, their outboard motor stopped and they were unable to restart it. There was a moment of tension as they drifted towards some sharp rocks, but they were saved just in time by another passing boater, and towed safely home. The first part of this tune seems to imitate the attempts to restart the motor, and the second part their joy at being saved, although this was not by conscious design."
