Coming Through the Rye (2)

 COMING THROUGH THE RYE [2]. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Missouri. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'CC'. The tune bears no relation to the air "Coming Through the Rye [1]," above. Liner notes to soure Enloe's recording suggest similarity with West Virginia fiddler Ellis Hall's version of "Stony Fork." Drew Beisswenger (2008) suggests a composite of associations, with the 'A' part resembling "Cripple Creek," the 'B' part the "Little Brown Jug" family of tunes, and the 'C' part "Temperance Reel." I add that the 'A' part is similar to the French-Canadian "Reel de la Broue." Source for notated version: Lymon Enloe (1906-1997, Missouri), who learned the melody from Tony Gilmore (Jefferson City, Missouri) in the 1920's [Beisswenger & McCann]. Printed source: Beisswenger & McCann (Ozarks Fiddle Music), 2008; p. 28. Recorded source:'' County Records CD-2707, Lymon Enloe - "Fiddle Tunes I Recall" (originally recorded c. 1973).
