Description

A West Virginian hoedown sourced from Pete Sutherland. This tune differs entirely from the Scottish tune of the same name. This version is set in the key of A-modal, 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.)
