From the San Antonio Express (Apr. 1, 1949):

"Calling himself 'the only old cowboy fiddler living,' [Alton M.] Mead [of Kingsville] ...emphasized that he was a Texan and a cowboy 60 years ago 'before barbed wire got my job.'...Mead said he played [tunes] as he had heard them 'from the old fiddlers 65 years ago: nothing added to them or taken away.' Here are the tunes [he recorded privately, apparently in the '20s or '30s]: 'Sally Goodin,' 'Dig a Hole to Put the Devil In,' 'John Booker,' 'Rio Grande Valley,' 'Knocking on the Door of the Pearly Gates,' 'Where the Dogwood Blooms,' 'LeaRay [sic] Wolf,' 'Texas Waltz,' 'Queen of Hearts,' 'Rye Whiskey,' 'The Prairie Girl,' 'Dollie With the Wooden Leg,' 'Cotton-Eyed Joe,' 'Jack O' Diamonds,' 'Natchez Under the hill,' and 'Liza Jane.'"
