My Last Gold Dollar: Annotations

X:1 T:Last Gold Dollar [1] N:From the playing of Bill Hensley (N.C.), from a 1940 field recording. M:C| L:1/8 N:ADad tuning (fiddle). While the notation can be played in N:GDae or ADae, it makes more sense when tuned to Henley's N:ADad. In his 1940 thesis on Hensley's tunes David Parker N:Bennett recorded that Hensley played "Last Gold Dollar" in N:BEbe tuning.
