This was printed in Bayard's Hill Country Tunes #62 from
Sarah Armstrong on November 18, 1943.
The unusual feature of this tune is the three note prelude
which is only played before the very first repetition. This
feature is very rare in American fiddle tunes.
Sarah Armstrong (1883 - 1957) contributed 37 of the 95 tunes in
Hill Country Tunes making her the most prolific source.
Other Sarah Armstrong tunes in this collection are:
"MacDonahue's Hornpipe"
"Muddy Water"
"Patty on the Turnpike"
"The Snouts and Ears of America"
which are also in this section and
"Sarah Armstrong's Tune"
in the Legacy section.
