"Lady of the Lake" is the name of many fiddle tunes in various keys and styles.<br> The Traditional Tune Archive (tunesearch.org) has nine versions cataloged,<br> none of which are this one. This version comes from John Ashby & The Free State<br> Ramblers.<br> John C. Ashby (1915-1979) began playing fiddle in 1926 at his home near Warrenton,<br> Virginia. Sometime around 1940 John formed the Free State Ramblers, a band<br> consisting of family and musician friends. “Free State” refers to a 12 square mile<br> area near Warrenton that declared itself “free” in 1806, refusing to pay rent or<br> taxes to landowner Chief Justice John Marshall.<br> I got the tune from John Lamancusa's collection (www.mne.psu.edu/lamancusa/tunes.html).<br> The banjo tablature, based on the same source, is by John Letscher.<br>
