"Farewell Trion" is an American reel from Alabama in G Major (Carlin) or<br> C Major (Kuntz, Phillips).The parts are played<br> AABC (Kuntz) or AA'AA'BB'C (Phillips). It is played slower than the usual breakdown tempo.<br> The primary source for the tune is fiddler Mack Blalock (1914-1987), of Mentone, Alabama,<br> who had it "from his great-uncle Joe Blaylock (b. 1854) who composed it upon returning<br> to Alabama after getting laid off from a mill in Trion, Georgia. James Bryan added a<br> third part to the tune".<br> It was printed in Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 2 (1995).<br> It was recorded by Bob Carlin on Banging and Sawing (1985) and<br> Red Mountain White Trash (now known as Red Mountain Yellowhammers) on Chickens Don't<br> Roost Too High (1999).<br>
