When and where?
I note that they play the B part "right": They go straight to the V chord, with no IV chord. When and where did the IV chord thing originate, and why did it become damn near universal, at least in the area where I live?

I wonder Ira--if you are speaking of that little snippet of the minor that ''shows up''out of the blue at the finale--on the B part

It's always been my understanding that Tommy Jackson was the composer of Cherokee Shuffle. Below is a link to a YouTube recording of his version. An observation I would also add is that the versions of the song that I've encountered have 37 measures, rather than 32 measures.

yes I have Tommy's in my files and others of his ,a great player--
this vid gets me with it's festival setting and youth at it's best--the song is a great one under good fingers no matter --we could bring in lonesome indian to talk about-- but I am having too much fun getting ideas--to no avail ha ha
no train wrecks there --my opinion I ask no agreement
