just a quick point, Greg Hooven the fiddle player and one of the singers from the New Ballard Bogtrotters was over at Fiddle Tunes festival in Port Townsend Wash. about 4 years ago and performed this song. Hes a fine fiddle player from Galax Virginia, and learned a lot from Tommy Jarrels style of fiddling. Interestingly, his band the New Ballards Bogtrotters is named after his grandfathers band the Ballard Bogtrotters (from the 30's) hope that helps. petr
