by Ted Hawkins who was one of the great mandolin stylists in early country<br> music. He can be heard playing on some of the late Skillet Lickers<br> recordings He also recorded with Skillet Lickers guitarist Riley Puckett.<br> I learned this from a New Lost City Ramblers record and it became the<br> theme tune for our college band The New Dimension String Band.<br> I sometimes play it as the seond tune in a medley with "Colored<br> Aristocracy" in the Tunes section.<br> This is one of the post-ragtime "rags" that fiddlers and mandolin players<br> developed in the early 20th century using the syncopated rhythms of the<br> ragtime tradition.<br> Other rags/blues tunes in this collections are:<br> Cherry River Rag<br> Colored Aristocracy<br> Dora Dean<br> Old Jackson Stomp<br> Pig Ankle Rag<br> Ragtime Annie<br> Stone's Rag<br> - all in the Tunes section and<br> East Tennessee Blues<br> Eli Greens Cakewalk<br> Hawkin's Rag<br> Horace Hanesworth<br> Sister Kate<br> Woody's Rag<br> - in the Legacies section.<br>
