"Fire in the Mountain" is an American reel in D major from southwestern Pennsylvania.<br> It was collected from Irvin Yaugher Jr. in Mt. Independence in Fayette County, Pa. on<br> October 14th, 1943 by Samuel Bayard. Bayard thought that the tune was similar to<br> "Shortnin' Bread". Yaugher's B part contains only four measures repeated.<br> The banjo tab is by John Letscher who used a modal tuning in A to produce a version<br> in E mixolydian. He has an eight measure B part repeated.<br> This is not the same tune as "Fire on the Mountain" that Alan Jabbour collected from<br> Henry Reed in Virginia.<br> It was printed in Bayard's Hill Country Tunes (1944).<br>
