"Hogeye", also known as "Hog-Eyed Man", "Betty Martin", "High Betty Martin",<br> "Pretty Betty Martin", "Brad Walters",<br> "Chippy/Gippy/Hippy Get Your Hair Cut", "Fire on the Mountain",<br> "Granny Will Your Dog Bite?", "Old Mother Gofour", "Sally in the Garden", or<br> "Tip Toe Fine" is an old-time breakdown in A Major, A Mixolydian or a combination<br> of both. The parts are played AAB (Brody) or AABB (Kaufman, Phillips).<br> The term 'hog-eye' means perhaps 'wall-eyed' (i.e. eyes that diverge outwards, the<br> opposite of cross-eyed), according to Thede. Other definitions, according to various<br> sources, include a type of barge used in California ports as well as a euphamism for a<br> vagina but the most common use seems to be the "wall - eyed" one.<br> It was printed in Beisswenger & McCann's Ozarks Fiddle Music (2008),<br> Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983) and<br> Banjo Picker's Fakebook (1985),<br> Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1982),<br> Kaufman's Beginning Old Time Fiddle (1977),<br> Kuntz's Ragged but Right (1987) and<br> Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994).<br> It was recorded by The Arkansas Sheiks on Whiskey Before Breakfast (1975),<br> Pope's Arkansas Mountaineer's on Echoes of the Ozarks, vol. 1 (1995),<br> Rafe Stefanini on Glory on the Big Spring,<br> New Lost City Ramblers on vol. 3 (1961),<br> Hollow Rock String Band on Traditional Dance Tunes (1968) and <br> Hollow Rock String Band (1974),<br> Luther Strong on American Fiddle Tunes (1971),<br> Pope's Arkansas Mountaineers {78 RPM}.<br>
