Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Indian Corn" is an American reel in G. The parts are played AA'BB'.
It was collected from the fiddling of Willie O. Ault, from the small
town of Hidalgo, Illinois. Willie was an old fiddler who was 'collected'
and field recorded by Garry Harrison in the 1970s when Willie was in his 80s.
The collection tape was mislabeled with "Indian Corn" listed as
"Ol' Woodward’s Tune" and for years everyone mistakenly called
"Indian Corn" by that name.
Even though "Indian Corn" and "Calico Corn" refer to the same vegetable,
the two names refer to very different tunes.
The banjo tablature is by John Letscher.
It was recorded by Rhys Jones and Cleek Shrey in the
Bigfoot String Band on I've got a Bulldog.
