N: Origin of the name, from fiddleinspain@thesession.org:
N: [Stan told me that he] was touring Cape Breton with some young fiddlers
N: and dropped in to see Jerry Holland. Jerry played him a jig and Stan
N: liked it so much he asked if he could have the dots so he could teach
N: it to his students. He toured/played/taught for the next year or so
N: and then met a fiddler who played him the same tune. When Stan identified
N: it by the name he’d been given (Willie’s Trip to Toronto?), the fiddler
N: looked at him funny and told him it was called Stan Chapman’s... That
N: was the first time he found out it had been renamed in his honour! I’m
N: pretty sure Stan still has the handwritten copy with the original title
N: somewhere.
