"Kentucky Whiskey", also known as "Old Kentucky Whiskey" is an<br> Old-Time breakdown in A Major. The parts are played AABB. It is played in<br> AEae fiddle tuning. <br> The name Kentucky is derived from the Mohawk phrase "kenta ke", meaning<br> "(on) the meadow" or "(on) the prairie".<br> The area, which encompassed parts of Virginia (including parts of what is currently<br> West Virginia) became the fifteenth state in the Union on June 1, 1792.<br> It is one of four states that are called commonwealths (including Massachusetts,<br> Pennsylvania, and Virginia).<br> The banjo tablature is by John Letscher who learned it from the Volo Bogtrotters.<br> The tune was recorded by Mark Graham on Natural Selections (1987),<br> The Freight Hoppers on Where'd You Come From, Where'd You Go? (1996),<br> Easy Street String Band on Money in Both Pockets (1980),<br> Indian Creek Delta Boys on Indian Creek Delta Boys - Volume 2 (1977) (as "Old<br> Kentucky Whiskey").<br>
