[PAR] [TLE] Dixie (song) [SEP] "Dixie," also known as "Dixie's Land," "I Wish I Was in Dixie," and other titles, is a popular American song.  It is one of the most distinctively American musical products of the 19th century, and probably the best-known song to have come out of blackface minstrelsy.  Although not a folk song at its creation, "Dixie" has since entered the American folk vernacular.  The song likely cemented the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a toponym for the Southern United States. [PAR] [TLE] Seely Simpkins Jig [SEP] "Seely Simpkins Jig" is a song by American songwriter Dan Emmett.  Emmett named the song for Seeley Simpkins, a resident of Knox County, Ohio, well known for his fiddle playing and whistling.  Simpkins' property neighbored that of Thomas Snowden, a man whom Howard L. and Judith Sacks credit with helping Emmett write the song "Dixie".  "Seely Simpkins Jig" was later published as a quickstep in "Fife Instructor", a manual by Emmett.
