Jamey Logan, fiddle; Carl Anderton, banjo; Scott Miller, bones. Recorded Sep 23, 2007 during Bull Wacker Days at historic Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop in Olathe, Kansas.
Jamey is singing the "Villikins" version which was based on "William and Diana" printed between 1789 and 1820 by G. Thompson of Liverpool. The popular "Sweet Betsy" version appeared after "Villikins."
