CAMP MEETING ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. American, March. D Major. Standard or DDad (tuning). AB. James Bryan has said that the tune was originally played as a processional for evening services at camp meetings in Arkansas in the 19th century. Bryan's source was Tom Jackson, who learned it from Coleman Barwick, an old-time fiddler from Blountsville, Alabama. (Not to be confused with similarly-titled melodies "4th of July at the County Fair" or "At a Georgia Camp Meeting").
