COMING UP THE TURNPIKE. AKA - "Coming Up the Pike." American, Reel. USA; Arkansas, Missouri. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was recorded for the Library of Congress in the early 1940's by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, from Ozarks Mountains fiddlers, among them William Bilyeu (1943) and Delbert McGrath (1942). The first strain resembles "Fort Smith (1)," while other similarities can be found with "Old Buzzard (1)," and "Nubbin Ridge."
