N:Hartford writes: "We believe the 'Old Time Grey Eagle' in C was originally played with 'Wagner'
N:and both were played in AEac# or 'Black Mountain Rag' tuning. This is a gut feeling based on the
N:fact that C tunes go good in this tuning, and in the early days this tuning was used a lot
N:because it was louder and had more open strings to harmonize with."
