Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
I first learned this tune from a Library of Congress recording of the western Virginia fiddler Henry Reed (1884-1968). Reed, who died in 1968 at the age of 83, learned the tune from his neighbor and mentor, Quince Dillon, who had been a fifer during the Mexican War. This recording is from a Clifftop jam with my pal Don Couchie, who is playing the fiddle. I am three finger picking on my short scale, semi-fretless Paramount, tuned aEABE.

Nice! Thanks for your hospitality at Clifftop and playing with Suzi and I! We came back up on Saturday morn before we left to hopefully meet Jim Reed, but you were all out. Maybe next year!

Don and I enjoyed playing tunes with you, Christine, and now make sure you find your way to Banjo Hell if you come next year.
