Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Snake Hunt", also known as "L'Ville" was written by Fred Campeau who explains that<br> "I was trying to remember a tune and I couldn't remember it and it came out this way". He was<br> in a town called Libertyville, so he abbreviated it to "L'ville" (pronounced "ell-ville").<br> It's a rather odd tune. The A part is pretty standard and is similar to the low part of<br> "Black Jack Grove"<br> and a few other tunes. But the B part is really different -- it's 11 bars long,<br> with lots of half notes, even tied quarter notes that cross the bar line -- and it doesn't repeat.<br> (Though the first and second strains are similar; the second being kind of a condensation of the first.)<br> The banjo tablature is by John Letscher.<br>
