Description

A lively, traditional Appalachian hoedown sourced from West Virginian fiddler Henry Reed, via Pete Sutherland. This version is set in the key of G-Major, as recorded on The Piper in the Holler album and published in ‘An Appalachian Collection’ tune book. Chord symbols included. (NB: The grace-notes that appear in this sheet music have since been updated to provide more emphasis on the backbeat, in imitation of old-time fiddling styles.)

Audio sample from The Piper in the Holler album, with Scottish smallpipes (A-chanter, with drone tuned to D):
