 GRUB SPRINGS [3]. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Mississippi. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Recorded by Burnsville, Mississippi, fiddler John Hatcher for the Library of Congress in 1939 (AFS 3000 A4) on a field trip by Herbert Halpert. It is a different tune than "Grub Springs (1)" and "Grub Springs (2)", i.e. bears little or no resemblance either the Ernest Clauch (that usually goes by that name) or the Charlie Stripling tune under that name recorded for the Library of Congress.  Source for notated version: John Hatcher (Mississippi) [Phillips].  Printed sources: Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes), vol. 1, 1994; p. 107.  Recorded sources: Rounder 18964-1518-2, Various Artists (John Hatcher) - "American Fiddle Tunes" (a reissue of the 1971 Library of Congress LP of field recordings).
