Yes it is correct that the Allen Street String Band plays this tune, but more specifically, Fiddler Bill Rintz - whom I believe now lives in Missouri, did indeed 'collect' this tune from the lady in Red Hills State Park, in Illinois. When he played it, he slid his bow smoothly from pitch to pitch in the runs, not playing separate individual notes. It took about 7 months for me to figure out how to get this "slide" effect on a hammered dulcimer with fixed pitches. But it works. I play the tune backwards starting with the B part instead of the A part first, (because the B part stuck in my mind more strongly and that was how I remembered the tune) just to give some clarity to the form in case anyone learns it from my versions. I stayed absolutely true to the melody I learned directly from Bill Rintz, not from an Allen Street recording. I would love to find out the older name of this tune or its earlier origins. However we call it, it is an incredible tune! Diane Ippel
