'''GREASY STRING [1]'''. AKA and see "[[Bring Back My Old Coon Dog]]." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Indiana, Virginia, West Virginia. A Major: G Major. AEae or Standard tunings (fiddle). AABBCC (Kuntz): AAAABB (Phillips). The title "Greasy String" probably refers to a slippery fiddle string. The tune was frequently found in the 1970's among older fiddlers in Ashe, Alleghany, Patrick (see Patrcik County natives Taylor and Stella Kimble's privately released record "How Sweet the Sound") and Grayson counties in Virginia. There are various degrees of variation in the melody: some see two related, but distinct tune lines, but as with many older American traditional fiddle tunes each fiddler had their own distinctive version. | |||
