Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
from "Hill Country Tunes". Collected from
Sarah Armstrong on 11/18/1943 by Samuel P. Bayard.
Sarah called this tune simply "An Old Reel".
I have included it in the legacies section because
her name is now associated with the tune although
it was probably a traditional tune and not her
composition.
Sarah Armstrong (1883 - 1957) contributed 37 of the
95 tunes in "Hill Country Tunes" making her the most
prolific source. Although she was accompanied by her
daughter on piano and her son on banjo, her children
did not pick up her repertoire and she was left as
its sole preserver. There are no known recordings
of her playing.
