HIGH YELLOW. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, western Virginia. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title was a term applied to a mulatto or light-skinned African-American. The tune is sourced to Glen Lynn, southwest Virginia, fiddler Henry Reed (1884-1968), who was visited by folklorist Alan Jabbour in 1966-67 and who collected a wealth of tunes and lore from him. According to Alan Jabbour, this rag-time influenced tune was learned by Reed from a Black fiddler by the name of Mr. Hites(?), who lived in Pennsylvania. However, Jabbour also states (on the LOC American Memory "Fiddle Tunes of the Old Frontier site [1]) in his notes that Reed told him he learned the tune from a mulatto fiddler from Texas, and on another occasion Reed suggested that this fiddler was from Cabell County, West Virginia. Reed had no title for the tune; the one given above was supplied by Jabbour and his former band-mates in the Hollow Rock String Band.
