WHISTLING RUFUS. AKA and see "Way Down South." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Virginia, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, Arizona. G Major {Phillips}: G Major ('A' and 'B' parts) & C Major ('C' part). Standard {Brody}. AB (Phillips): AAB (Brody). Mark Wilson identifies it as a c. 1900 cakewalk composed by Kerry Mills; other sources also identify it as a turn of the century ragtime composition, and Cauthen (1990) calls it a minstrel composition which passed into fiddling tradition. Arizona fiddler Kenner C. Kartchner identified it as a "good two-step from around 1900" (Shumway). It was played by Rock Ridge, Alabama, fiddlers around 1920 and it appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954. Stacy Phillips (1995) notes that the first section is sometimes bowed right next to the bridge, resulting in a whistle-like tone. Source for notated version: Buddy Pendleton [Brody].
