Lighter Texas fiddle tunes in 1900 (10) RE: Texas fiddle tunes in 1900 25 Dec 21

Of interest:

"Holmes County Farmer" (Millersburg, O.) (Aug. 27, 1863), p.2: “In one carriage, we noticed two violinists, one playing ‘Fisher’s Hornpipe’ and the other 'Hell on the Wabash.'"

"Courier-Jounal (Louisville, Ky.) (May 21, 1866), p.1: “My stay in ‘Hell on the Wabash,’ as railroad men facetiously term Logansport [Ind.] was brief."

Another (or the same) tune was played during the Civil War as "Hell on the Potomac."
