i believe the carter family played this one. got it from the merlin session book one. I did a bit of internet research: The origins of this tune are unclear, although it is widespread from the South to Midwest, the American North and Canada and even to England and Scotland. "Chinese Breakdown" was first recorded by the "Dixie String Band" in 1925. And thats all I could find out but its enjoyable to play.

  • That's quite a job you've done down in the tabs there. Do you find it attracts many international viewers? Great tune, also. I was expecting something Chinese, for obvious reasons, but this was just a good. Thanks.

  • Nice work!

  • I hear play gladly them with accordeon to it greet Susanne
