DANDY LUSK. AKA - "Dandy Lusk's Tune." American, Reel (cut time). USA, Kentucky. G Major. DGad tuning (fiddle). AABB. A slightly 'crooked' tune. Fernando "Dandy Lusk" (b. 1890's) was a child of Letcher County, southeast Kentucky, fiddler Elvina "Viney" Campbell Lusk (b. 1870's), who, like his mother, played the fiddle. He died unrecorded save for a 1952 recording made at his home with clawhammer banjo player Lee Sexton (also from Letcher County). Elvina and Fernando were aunt and cousin of fiddler Manon Campbell (1890-1987) who was recorded by folklorists, and who also learned some of his repertoire from the Lusks.
