Thread Name: Tune Req: Fiddle Tune from Daniel Boone TV Series
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Fiddle Tune from Daniel Boone TV Series
Whether the tune was played in Boone's day is simply unknown: virtually nobody mentioned the titles of American fiddle tunes in that period.
There was a minstrel song called "Sallie Gooden and Jenny Weaver" in 1848, apparently to a different tune.
The earliest reference I've seen to "Sally Gooden" as a dance tune is from 1878 - in Minnesota!
