@Barefootlarry Thanks, the only difficulty is that if you play "Cherokee Shuffle" in A then the high note in the B section is C-sharp, way up in the fourth position for fiddle, whereas it's an easy F-sharp on the E string when the tune is played in D. The Phillips Collection of Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 gives the tune in A, and does show the high C-sharp, so I guess playing this tune in the original key is for advanced fiddlers!

"Do you usually play this tune in D for old-time?"

Typically "Cherokee Shuffle" is played in "A", while "Lost Indian"(which is VERY similar) is played in "D".

The two tunes are so similar that a lot of people think the key difference is the only one, though "Lost Indian" doesn't go to the minor near the end of the "B" part.

Do you usually play this tune in D for old-time? Most of the versions on YouTube are bluegrass, and they play it in A (but that makes the high note in the B section hard to play, because it would be high C-sharp, whereas it's just an F-sharp in the version in the key of D).
