This pretty tune comes from the scratchy recordings of the blind fiddler originally from West Virginia. Ed Haley's son, Ralph, recorded him in the 1940's, but Ed resisted commercial recordings. There are three volumes available on amazon.com of these home recordings. I first heard of Ed Haley through John Hartford when the soundmen were blasting a CD at a bluegrass festival intermission--my reaction was: "Who is that? That's the music I've been looking for!"

Thanks, Pat. I've been tune-hunting through Ed Haley's recordings to find the diamonds-in-the-rough. Not that Ed's playing is rough--it's the home-made recordings that are often hard to listen to.

I'm sure that your recording renditions of Haley's are better to listen to.
