In the past, the Shottish was frequently played immediately following Cotton Eyed Joe but you don't hear it much anymore. I am interested in finding a copy of ...Joe and adding it to my band's version of ...Joe. Any clues of a recording I could purchase that would have the Shottish that I could learn from? |

Leroy, Since the Schottische is a dance, you will find there are many versions of this instrumentally, all with different titles (like "Joe's Schottische", "Sweetheart Schottische", etc.). I did a search on CDNOW for "Schottische" and it came up with several matches, all with different titles. One you may be interested in after doing the CEJ is "Frenchie's Schottische" by Fiddlin' Frenchie Burke. It's listed on CDNOW. Good luck! P.S. One time I heard a band do a Schottische to the tune of the "Andy Griffith Show" theme song. They even whistled part of it! |

Wow! I didn't realize I was so far off on the spelling.  Thanks for all "youse" inputs. |

Leroy, "Christmas Schottische" on the Buck Owens "Christmas Shopping" album is a good listen. |

Acutally, I'm a very good speller but my keyboards keeps screwing me up.  |

There's the well-known (around these parts) "Schottish" that follows the Cotton-Eyed Joe, then there are the Schottische-type tunes as Mike mentioned, derived from a type of dance done in this part of Texas where many German immigrants settled starting in the early 19th Century. Someone explained to me that it's origin is from Scotland as "schottische" is the German pronunciation of "Scottish." Bands I work in usually play it as a sort of jazzed-up minuet in 2/4 time with a 4/4 chorus. |
