Description

A popular and very ‘pipeable’ Appalachian hoedown sourced from West Virginian fiddlers Burl and Edden Hammons, via Pete Sutherland. This setting, perhaps the most familiar version of this tune, is in the standard 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.)
