| Summary: | cheek n One of the favorite pastimes of a crew, while 'in baitin,' is a dance.There was no fiddler, but only a boy who sang for them, or, according to the Newfoundland vernacular, made 'chin-music.' . . when I entered, the host was leadiing off with an opening break-down. The orchestra furnished 'chin-music.' The musician was a young man who hummed in a sort of grunting nasal tone various tunes of proper time for square dances. it was a succession of nasal tones in the key of C.Their dances were all the square dances, and generally the well- known lancers. The various figures were called off by one of the crew. W. Kirwin 3/79 JH 3/79 Used I and Sup Used I 3 Not used FACE, cheek music, CHIN MUSIC, MOUTH MUSIC Checked by Cathy Wiseman on Sat 25 Apr 2015
