"Grub Springs" is an old-time breakdown in A Major played in standard or AEae fiddle<br> tuning. The parts are played AB (Silberberg) or AABB (Phillips).<br> This is perhaps the Alabama fiddler Charlie Stripling's version, from a 1952 AFS<br> recording made by Ray Browne. Stripling played the tune in standard tuning (Kerry Blech<br> says it "sort of vacillates between the A tonal center and the D tonal center").<br> I got the banjo tab from Adam Hurt at Midwest Banjo Camp.<br> Grub Springs Branch is the name of a stream in Monroe County, northeast Mississippi,<br> near the town of Caledonia.<br> It was printed in Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994),<br> Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002).<br> It was recorded by Rafe Stefanini on Glory on the Big String,<br> Alan Block on Alive and Well and Fiddling and<br> various performers on American Fiddle Tunes (1971).<br>
