"Mississippi Palisades" is a composition by Lynn "Chirps" Smith.<br> Chirps says the tune was named for Mississippi Palisades State Park along<br> the Mississippi River, near Savanna, IL. He says<br> "It's a beautiful park with tall cliffs (AKA palisades). There are many areas<br> of cliffs on the upper Mississippi River...I was just messing around with<br> the banjo and that tune came out. I'm sure it is informed by all the other<br> hundreds of tunes I know, but no particular one comes to mind."<br> The banjo tablature is by John Letscher who says that he learned it from<br> from Chirps Smith Shades of Death Creek CD and the playing of John Lamancusa.<br> It was printed in Lamancusa's The Gettysburg Collection of Old-Time Fiddle<br> Tunes (2021).<br> It was recorded by New Bad Habits (with) Chirps Smith on Shades of<br> Death Creek (2013).<br>
