Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
From the fiddling of Kentuckian Clyde Davenport -- one never can get tired of his style or tunes. This one has those little unexpected twists in meter and melody that delight us. I'm in good company with Joe Newberry and Don Borchelt who both uploaded this tune on BHO years ago. Jeff Titon claims it's related to an Irish tune called The Mullingar Races and that other tunes with different melody have been recorded with this title.

I was watching an old western the other day and I would about swear this melody was played in it. Regretfully I don’t remember the title but I’m pretty sure Audie Murphy was in it...that narrows it down ??! As always, nicely done miss Janet.
