Rich_Kelly Origins: gander in the pratie hole (51* d) RE: Origins: gander in the pratie hole 20 Mar 08


At a session one time I was told the apocryphal tale of a college student coming to a session to record the tunes played. After hearing a set, the student asked the fiddler for the name of the tune. The older veteran player said it was called "The Hen's Tooth". The student dutifully recorded the information.

Later, another tune was played and, again, the student leaned in and asked for the name of that last one. The fiddler leaned over and said "The Hen's Tooth".

The student quickly replied, "But I thought you said that tune you played earlier was called 'The Hen's Tooth'"?

Without hesitation, the fiddler replied "Different tooth".
