History
Albert Hash, the Whitetop, Virginia, fiddler and luthier, played this and called it a British tune, though its style makes that doubtful. His nephew said Hash actually learned it from a 1968 record by Texas fiddler Bill Northcutt.
New York fiddler Judy Hyman thinks it comes from the Quebec tune "Reel du pendu," the hanged man's reel. Younger old-time fiddlers play it a lot at festivals, usually cross tuned in A.
