GUEST,Hootenanny Titles of Mississippi Fiddle Tunes 1917 (4) RE: Titles of Mississippi Fiddle Tunes 1917 05 May 18


If you spend any time with fiddlers at old time sessions you will soon find out that numerous, possibly every fiddle tune exists under more than one name and likewise many different titles are used for the same tune.

The tune sometimes known as Wild Horse has about five or six names.
John Lover has four at least.

There are a number of Lost Indians. Drunken Hiccoughs is also known as Rye Whiskey, Devil's Dream is also known as Booger Man's Nightmare. etc etc.
You could go on and on. Eighteen of the above titles come up at sessions which I attend.
