TOTW 10/19/12 - Nancy Dalton

This week's Tune of the Week volunteer is unable to post due to a medical emergency, so I will post a very quick and simple "emergency back-up" tune.

That tune is Nancy Dalton.  I heard it for the first time yesterday on a CD I just came across at Spruce Tree Music in Madison, Wisconsin - "Stranger on a Mule: 31 Traditional Fiddle Tunes From the Southern Appalachians", by Don Pedi and Bruce Greene.  The CD contains many great tunes that I had not heard, nor head of, before.  I chose Nancy Dalton in part because there was at least one banjo version on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZNalaU3tYc .  I haven't found any tablature yet.

Dan Gellert has fiddle version on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-x-Y-HR5tI

There is a brief history of the tune in Jeff Titon's "Old Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes" book: http://tinyurl.com/9x5hhcp

Sorry this is such a short write-up.  If I find any more information in the days ahead I'll post it.
