WHITE OAK. American, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "White Oak" is a reel played by several north-central Kentucky musicians. It was in the repertoire of Franklin County, Ky., fiddler Kelly Gilbert (1895-1991), recorded in the field in 1978 by John Harrod, and was played by Anderson County fiddler Everett Kays (1905-1996), recorded in the field by Bruce Greene in 1973. The first strain is reminiscent of "Give the Fiddler a Dram", though perhaps more so in its chord progression than its melody.
