History

This is a Texas and Midwest contest tune, unrelated to the older "Dusty Miller" of West Virginia. Probably the first recording is by Captain M.J. Bonner, "The Texas Fiddler," who cut it for Victor in Houston in 1925. Missouri fiddler Gene Goforth played the parts ten bars long instead of eight and said that was the old way to play it.
