Prince Albert Hunt with guitar and brothers John Wesley and Corbin Lee HuntKATY ON TIME. AKA and see "Casey Jones." American, Reel (cut time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB & Vamp part. "Katy on Time" was recorded in San Antonio, Texas, in March, 1928, by Wikipedia:Prince Albert Hunt and the Texas Ramblers. Fiddler Hunt (1896-1931), of Denton, Texas, was a World War I veteran and a frequenter of the music scene in the red light districts of nearby Dallas, who recorded twice (in 1928 and 1929, for OKeh Records). At some point in his career he was called the "Prince of fiddlers", and he added the honorific to his name. His promising career was cut short in 1931 when he was shot to death at close range outside Confederate Hall in Dallas by a husband outraged that Hunt had accompanied his wife to a dance, and who claimed Hunt had "broke up my home...He took my wife clear away from me." The musician left behind his wife and their four children. Hunt is often credited with being an influence on the development of Western Swing.
