Scroll back up, and you'll read about Charles Seeger recording Sanford Rich and his family playing that tune, in West Virginia in the early 30s. Elmer Rich played mandolin on that recording, as a young teenager. He's still playing fiddle, and will be on the faculty at Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, in Port Townsend, WA, next summer! So if you want to meet someone who was part of getting this tune into circulation as an old time tune....check out the Fiddle Tunes website: http://www.centrum.org/fiddle/

I became the Artistic Director of "Fiddle Tunes" (as it's usually called) last year and am loving the opportunity to work with folks like Elmer Rich -- they're the closest thing we have to a time machine!
