|Tune properties and standard notation

 FLATWOODS [2]. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Phillips, Titon): AAAABB (Kuntz). Bobby Fulcher (1986) states that the tune was formerly unfamiliar outside of Wayne County, Ky., in the Cumberland Plateau region, although the name had some currency and, in fact, a number of loosely connected tunes bear this title. Jeff Titon (2001) similarly calls the title a 'floater' and says unrelated melodies as called "Flatwoods" have been collected in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia.  Source for notated version: Clyde Davenport via Liz Slade (Yorktown, New York) [Kuntz]; Clyde Davenport (Monticello, Wayne County, Ky.), who learned the tune from his father, Will Davenport [Phillips, Titon].  Printed sources: Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes), vol. 1, 1994; p. 88. Titon (Old-Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes), 2001; No. 44, p. 76.  Recorded sources: County 788, Clyde Davenport (Monticello, Ky.) - "Clydeoscope: Rare and Beautiful Tunes from the Cumberland Plateau" (1986).
