Shenandoah Falls

"Shenandoah Falls" is an American reel in cut time in A Major. The parts are played AABB (Johnson) or AA'BB (Phillips).
Clyde Curley and Susan Songer, in notes to The Portland Collection (1997), trace the tune: Vermont fiddler Pete Sutherland learned it from West Coast musician Carol Robinson, who learned it as an untitled reel from a mandolin player named 'Cookie', once a fellow student with her at Sonoma State College. It is thought Sutherland titled it, perhaps thinking it reminiscent of Bill Monroe's bluegrass composition "Shenandoah Breakdown".
The banjo tablature is by John Letscher. His comments:

Learned from John Lamancusa and the Gettysburg Jam folks.
