Thread Name: Need help identifying a fiddle tune
Subject: RE: Need help identifying a fiddle tune
"McCutcheon got it [Loggerman's Breakdown] from NY hammered dulcimer player Paul Van Arsdale, who got it from a radio broadcast of a Canadian logger/fiddler in the 1950s!" The "Corn on the Cob" I just posted came originally from Joe Pancerzewski, an old time fiddler "raised in North Dakota... and moved to Saskatchewan... where he learned some Canadian style fiddling." So there's a definite connection with Pancerzewski's tune and McCutcheon's tune.
