Abstract

Two or three years ago at the annual Breakin’ Up Winter old-time music festival, an event held every March at Cedars of Lebanon State Park near Lebanon, Tennessee, I was playing guitar in a nice jam session led by two fiddler friends. At my request we played ‘Indian Ate the Woodchuck’, a driving three-strain tune associated with the legendary eastern Kentucky fiddler, Ed Haley.
