Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Muddy Creek" is an American reel in cut time and G Major. The parts are played one part,
AAB (Titon) or AABB' (Phillips).
When two parts are played, the parts are very similar.
This repetitive melody is sometimes played slower than a standard breakdown tempo, but source
John Salyer and his sons keep it at a moderately danceable speed.
The banjo tablature is by John Letscher who learned it from the Foghorn String Band.
It was printed in Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 2 (1995),
Titon's Old-Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes (2001) and Foghorn String Band.
Lamancusa's The Gettysburg Collection of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes (2021).
It was recorded John Salyer on John M. Salyer: Home Recordings 1940-41, vol. 2 (1993),
Scott Nygaard on Dreamer's Waltz (1996) and
Foghorn String Band on Boombox Squaredance (2007).
