Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Log Chain" is an American reel in cut time and D Major. The parts are played AB (Silberberg) or AABB (Phillips).
The source for the tune is Lonnie Seymour (1922-2002) of Chillicothe, Ohio, born into a family of fiddlers that
included his grandfather, father, and Uncle Lon. As a teenager Seymour played for dances in his local area,
interrupted by service in the army during World War II. He returned to play with a band called The Ross County
Farmers who played for late 1940's broadcasts on radio station WBEX in his home town.
It was printed in Clare Milliner & Walt Koken's Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes (2011),
Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994) and
Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002).
It was recorded by Ross County Farmers on Farmer's Frolic (1987) and
Lonnie Seymour on Lonnie Seymour (2005).
