  • i have an old sheet music and he played it note for note, before some variations each time around, nice...

  • Great version. I have always played 3 parts as that is how Learned it in TX in the 70s. Either way it is one of the all time great fiddle tunes.

  • Marshall reports that local speculation is that the third part was inserted to relieve a square dance fiddler from the stress of keeping the main part of the tune going through a long set. Some feel the third part is reminiscent of Little Brown Jug, although there can be considerable variation from fiddler to fiddler in the way third parts are rendered.

  • I only learned the third part many years later from Eck's recording. Little Dixie, Missouri, fiddler Howard Marshall says the third part has been a vital part of the tune in Missouri for many many years, offering that the renowned regional fiddler Taylor McBaine remembered playing it that way as a child in the very early 1920s.

  • Other Texas fiddlers only learned the two-part version. Glen Godsey writes: Of the fiddlers I knew in Amarillo in the 1940's-1950's, Eck was the only

    one who played the third part. I learned only two parts as a kid, and we always played just two parts for the square dances.

  • There is often some confusion among fiddlers whether to play the tune in two or three parts, and both are correct depending on regional taste. Eck Robertsons original version was in three parts (the third part changes key to G major) as are many older south-west versions, and some insist this form was once more common that the two-part version often heard in more recent times
