LAURA LEE. Old-time. This tune, originally a Stephen Foster song, was in the repertoire of fiddler Archibald Alexander Shaw, Harnet County, N.C. (located in the Sandhills section between the coastal plain and the piedmont). It was supposedly unique to the area and not played in other parts of the state, according to Evelyn Shaw (OTH).
