Heard this for the first time today from Mary Z. Yours sounds fun to play, too. Do you know much about this song's history?

Sorry for not answering sooner. The fact is that I don't know anything historical. I learned it in the context of getting obsorbed into the Albuquerque Megaband. There were rumors - more or less - implying that Pete Sutherland was the source. On one occasion, perhaps on BHO I read that it is a Kentucky tune. My respect to the tune has to do with the chordings in the second part. Shenandoah Falls is one of the few tunes that if laziness is overcome I might change the banjo tuning from double-C to A-modal, cranking the 4th from D to E.
