Off Go Those St. John's Girls
Off Go Those St. John's Girls is a traditional-style 2/4 polka composed by the renowned Newfoundland fiddler Rufus Guinchard in the D major key. The tune features a lively, upbeat character and a driving rhythm well-suited for traditional step dancing and community dances. While specific historical associations beyond Guinchard's own performance and recording legacy are not well documented, the piece remains a vibrant staple of the island's traditional fiddle repertoire.
