White said of Hayley, "He was the best fiddler I ever heard draw a bow." White himself was a jack-of-all trades and sometime dentist, physician and midwife, all self-schooled; he apprenticed with local practitioners and read every medical book he could get his hands on. Surprisingly, he was allowed to practice in rural Clay County. The tune is quite crooked, or irregular in metre. White can be heard playing it on AFS 13,704 (June, 1967).
