"Ninth of January", also known as "Lost Indian" or "Old Time Eighth of January" is a breakdown or reel in D Major. The parts are played AA'BB. Beisswenger & McCann (2008) relate that the tune is Bob Holt's version of Charlie Deckard's playing of "The Eighth of January". It was different enough to provoke exceptions from those who knew the fairly common "Eighth of January" tune, saying it was not correct. Finally, Holt simply gave it a similar but different name. The melody was in the repertoire of Alton Jones under the alternate titles given above. Charlie Deckard, Bob Holt and Alton Jones are contemporary Ozark fiddlers. To me, it seems that this tune is closer to "Lost Indian". than "Eighth of January". It was printed in Beisswenger & McCann's Ozarks Fiddle Music (2008). It was recorded by Bob Holt on Got a Little Home to Go To (1998).
