Description

A fiery hoedown sourced from Emmet Lundy of Galax, Virginia (via Pete Sutherland). Set in the key of A-modal, as recorded on The Piper in the Holler album, Karen Sutherland’s If Ever I Have Had a Friend 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.)
