Additional notes
Source for notated version: - Alva Greene (1894-1976, Sandy Hook, Elliott County, Ky., 1973) [Titon]. Greene was 'discovered' in the early 1970's by folklorists Chris Delaney, Guthrie Meade and Mark Wilson, who recorded much of his repertoire, and linked him with a few folk festivals before his death. Titon notes that Greene occasionally used to play with J.P. Fraley's father, Richard Fraley, and visited the Fraley family when J.P. was young.
