S:A. Porter Hamblen (1875-195?) music manuscript collection (early-20th century)
N:”As played by Williamson Hamblon.” Williamson Hamblon (1846-1920) was 
N:A. Porter’s father. 
N:Set in 'A' major in the MS. As with a few of the 'A' major tunes in 
N:Hamblon's MS, the tune sounds better in a modal rather than major key.
N:See also Henry Reed's related "The Route"
