Hall in southwestern Pa. in 1944 by Samuel Bayard.<br> The tune name is a floater and is attached to a number of different tunes.<br> Alternate versions are known in Oklahoma, Texas, eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, usually<br> in A Major. Fiddlers often play those versions in AEac# tuning.<br> It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981).<br> It was recorded by Tamsula and Withers on Up In the Batten House.<br> Alternate versions were printed in Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983) and<br> Thede's The Fiddle Book (1967).<br> Alternate versions were recorded by Eck Robertson, Benny Thomasson, Ship in the Clouds,<br> Mark Graham, Kevin Burke, The Lazy Aces, Mose Coffman, Art Galbraith, Ed Haley and<br> Byron Berline.<br> The banjo tab is by John Letscher.<br>
