History
A contributor to the Session says that it was "Composed by John Burt 1938", but the Fiddler's Companion says: "The tune is sometimes attributed to Nova Scotia fiddler Colin J. Boyd, and it is thought that it originated in Canada and spread to New England from Ottawa. 'Crooked Stovepipe' was recorded on 78 RPM in 1932 by Hugh 'Hughie' A. MacDonald, sometimes known as 'The Polka King.' "
