Subject: RE: seeking the music of Sleepy Hollow
Probably mostly what where the "standards" for early bluegrass bands, things like Durhams Reel, Virginia Reel, East Virginia Blues, just about anything ending in "reel," lots of highly Brit/Scots-influenced music, mostly stringbands in rural areas and classical music in high society. In America at least. Negro would probably be mostly working songs or spirituals.
