-'''BLACK JACK GROVE [1]'''. AKA - "Blackjack Grove." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. A Mixolydian ('A' part) & A Dorian ('B' part) {Phillips, Titon}: A Mixolydian ('A' part) & A Major ('B' part) {Silberberg}.  Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberbert): AABB (Phillips, Titon). Phillips notes that his source, Walter McNew, tended to blur the 'C' notes in the 'B' part of his unaccompanied version, resulting in a tonality somewhere between minor and major. Jeff Titon (2001) finds the title in tune lists from Berea College in 1915 and in the 1919 Berea fiddle contest list. The title presumably takes its name from a locale with a  grove of blackjack oak trees.
