Something of a Country fiddling masterpiece, this particular side doesn't seem to have been reissued yet so I'm presenting it here. It was recorded for the Conqueror label, as all of their records were, on August 8 of 1933 - it would be their last record
issued of six total. The song, written in 1855 by Septimus Winner (a prolific songwriter, best known for "Ten Little Indians" and "Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?") and Richard Milburn (a black man who Septimus had hired to work in his music store,
and later became a barber). I haven't yet found the names of the two who perform on this disc, and informed emails are most welcome on this subject. This disc was in extremely good condition, being played maybe once or twice in its life if at all, so there
was only clicks, pops, and normal groove hiss to remove. (More info can be found about Septimus Winner at Bea Fifer's site and at the
Keffer Collection.)
