BETTY BAKER [3]. American, Reel (cut time). G Major. GDad tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune has been called a 'West Virginia standard' but versions also were played in east Kentucky. This version of the tune is from Copen, Braxton County, central W.Va., fiddler Melvin Wine [1] (1909-2003), and it was in the repertoire of Ernie Carpenter (related to, not closely, French Carpenter), who learned the reel from legendary fiddler Uncle Jack McElwain (1856-1938) of Webster County, W.Va. Wine learned the tune from Tom Allen [1] a member of a musical family from around Napier, Braxton County (for which see "Betty Baker (3)"). Gerry Milnes (Play of a Fiddle, 1999) says at least six members of the family were fiddlers, although all have since died. .
See also Kentucky fiddler Manon Campbell's tune of the same name, "Betty Baker (1)," a distanced but related version, but generally similar (allowing for considerable individual variation) to other Kentucky versions such as those of Hiram Stamper ("Pretty Betty Baker"--his "Indian Nation" [2] is a also a version of "Betty Baker (1)"), Clyde Davenport and Ed Haley.
