 GREEN RIVER MARCH. Old-Time, (Slower) Breakdown. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. An archaic-sounding tune from the playing of fiddler Uncle Jimmy McCarroll of the Roane County Ramblers. McCarroll was born in 1892, in Wheat, Anderson County, Tennessee, and was still playing in the 1970's. It is perhaps the same "Green River" recorded by Asheville, North Carolina, fiddler Osey Helton on Broadway 5122-1 (78 RPM), c. 1925.  Source for notated version:  Printed sources:  Recorded sources: County 403, "Roane County Ramblers" (east Tennessee. Originally recorded in 1929).
