BLIND STEER IN A MUDHOLE. AKA - "Blind Steer in a/the Mud Hole." American, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Bind Steer in a Mud Hole" is sourced to Portsmouth, Ohio, fiddler and instrument repairer Jimmy Wheeler, who had the tune from his father. The accompaniment chord begins on the fifth of the key (i.e. E major). Jane Keefer notes that a related melody is "Little Boy Working on the Road (1)." Fiddler Jeff Goehring remarks: "The second, or 'B' part of the tune its almost note-for-note derived from the Scottish/French Canadian piece 'Money Musk.'" ^[1].
