Paul Mitchell finds an almost identical tune in the late West Virginia fiddler Wilson Douglas's repertoire, called "[[Fair Mountain Hornpipe]]." A more direct adaptation of Clough's "Nancy" is the American clawhammer banjo version of the same tune popularlized by Howie Bursen and Ken Perlman, who were familiar with the several British recordings of the tune (in particular the High Level Ranters' version). It has by now taken on a life of its own in modern "revival" banjo tradition, and its Northumbrian source is frequently unrecognized. [[File:clough.jpg|280px|thumb|Right|Tom Clough]] | |||
