Oh, duh. Sorry, I'm on my third straight week reading the library catalog 9 hours a day--I can hear my brain sloshing around in my skull.

I can't get the Project Guttenberg page to open but of the songs listed here (scroll down):

Houston, Texas, vicinity.
I play mostly with Appalachian dulcimers so I don't know many jigs (6/8 is a pain), but I went to college in Iowa and learned a bunch of Midwestern fiddle stuff, too. Sort of a mixed background.

Everybody knows "On Top of Old Smoky".

My dad does a version of "Frankie & Johnny" but I have no idea where he got it--his mother's favorite song was "Mairzy Doats", so I doubt he learned it from her.

Everyone knows of "Barbara Allan" but I know very few who actually sing or play it. I've never heard the same version by any two singers and we can never agree on how it should be sung.

We do "Cumberland Gap" all the time, with an added "B" part.

Everyone knows of "Cherry Tree Carol" and "Matty Groves" but, again, I don't usually hear them sung or played.

There are several tunes called "Natchez-Under-the-Hill", and they are very different. The one I know came from Illinois and does not resemble "Turkey in the Straw" (which was published in the 1830's as "Old Zip Coon"). I learned "Natchez" from friends but the only recording I have is in the key of A, by the Allen Street String Band [defunct]. "Natchez" refers to the old dock area in Natchez, Mississippi, but you probably know that.

I assume "Napoleon's Retreat" could be "Bonaparte's Retreat", which a lot of my dulcimer friends play (or, less likely, "Bonapart Crossing the Alps", which we also play).

Everyone knows "Shortening Bread", "Cripple Creek", "Froggie Went A-Courting", and "Sally Gooden". If I never play "Shortening" again, I'll die happy.

Most know "Cuckoo".

We can never agree on a version of "Little Maggie".

Most know "Fire on the Mountain" but don't play it because it's pointless on the dulcimer.

I know a tune called "Pretty Little Girl" but I don't know if it's the same one. I learned it from friends who got it from former members of the Freight Hoppers, who are from the right part of the country. The title is sort of nondescript, though.

I know a banjo tune called "Lost Indian" but got in from someone from Alabama, and I don't know anyone else in my area that plays it. (Also, the fiddle tune "Cherokee Shuffle" is rarely, but sometimes, called "Lost Indian", but it's a much more recent tune.)
