X:1 T:Uncle Abe's Tune N:From a 2007 field recording of the playing of Saratoga County, N.Y., fiddler N:Ermina Pincombe (1930-2014). Dave Ruch says she had it "from her N:great uncle Abram R. Parslow as an untitled tune. Family lore had it that Uncle N:Abe learned it down south during the Civil War and brought it back to N:Speculator, NY, in the Adirondacks afterwards. Vic Kibler's uncle Lukie N:learned the tune from Uncle Abe and Vic played a version of it as "Uncle Lukie's."
