"Hawks and Eagles" is an American reel in 4/4 or cut time and D Major (Brody,<br> Silberberg) or G Major (Spadaro). The parts are played AABB. It is played in standard,<br> ADad or ADae fiddle tunings.<br> The source for this tune is fiddler Norman Edmonds (1889-1976) and the Old Timers<br> from Hillsville, southwest Virginia.<br> The A and B parts are very similar but the B part is often played an octave lower.<br> The banjo tablature is by John Letscher who says "It comes from The Highwoods String Band<br> and a really nice video of Walt Koken and Claire Milliner. It should really be just one<br> part repeated 4 times, but there's a different sound to the B part."<br> It was printed in Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983) and<br> Banjo Picker's Fakebook (1985),<br> Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 2 (1995),<br> Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002),<br> Spadaro's 10 Cents a Dance (1980).<br> It was recorded by Norman Edmonds on Train on the Island (1973) and<br> Norman Edmonds and the Old Timers, vol. 2 (2004),<br> Michaels, McCreesh & Campbell on The Host of the Air (1980),<br> The Highwoods String Band on Dance All Night (1975) and others.<br>
