Thread Name: Origin: Over the Waterfall
Subject: RE: History of Over The Waterfall
OVER THE WATERFALL seems to come to us from the playing of Henry Reed. I think it was one of the tunes that Alan Jabbour learned from him and passed on in the late '60's string band revival. A great tune, it was once so much over-played that some music stores had it at the top of the list of tunes that would get you ejected for playing as they'd heard them so many times before. It seems to be coming back into fashion now.
