Annotation:Eddy Sticker's Tune

Back to 

 EDDY STICKER'S TUNE. American, Jig. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). Learned by the source from Eddy Sticker, from Indiana County, Pa., whose father (who lived in Milton, Pa.) was a Civil War veteran and also a fiddler and local teacher of tunes. Bayard notes that Sticker was mentally impaired due to a fever when he was young, but retained the ability to play the fiddle and had preserved a store of tunes. The 'A' part is equivalent to the first tune in Section No. IV of "The Lancers" in Linscott (Folk Songs of New England, 1939), p. 93.  Source for notated version: Eddy Sticker (Glen Campbell, Pa.), via Harmon McCullough (Indiana County, Pa., 1959) [Bayard].  Printed sources: Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle), 1981; No. 577, pp. 511-512.
