Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
West Virginia fiddler Wilson Douglas stated that regionally
(i.e. eastern Kentucky/West Virginia/southern Ohio) influential fiddler
Ed Haley played this tune. John Hartford notes that R.P. Christeson's
source, Uncle Bob Walters' family moved to Iowa from Kentucky in the
mid-1800's and that both Walters' father and grandfather were fiddlers.
His implication is that this musical family brought the tune to the
mid-west from eastern Kentucky.
I learned this originally from Bob Carlin's arrangement printed in
Ken Perlman's Melodic Clawhammer Banjo (1979). This arrangement is
similar to Carlin's with some modifications.
