Thread Name: Old Songs Newly Found
Subject: RE: Old Songs Newly Found
Midnight on the Water, I'd been playing this old Texas fiddle tune on the mandolin quite awhile before discovering that someone had put words to it. That someone was John Croizat, who is listed as one of the fiddlers on this Kate Wolf recording from her Lines on the Paper LP. The tune is credited here to Luke Thomasson, father of another Texas fiddler, Benny Thomasson.

While on the subject of the late, great Kate, might as well link to one of her best-known songs, Across the Great Divide.
