EIGHTH OF JANUARY [4]. American, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. This version of "Eighth of January" was in the repertoire of fiddler biography:Enos Canoy (1909-1970), lifelong resident of Magee, Simpson County, central Mississippi. Canoy had a band that included various members of his family, including brother Tim on mandolin and Tim's wife, Lola, on guitar. They were recorded for the Library of Congress in 1939 by collector Herbert Halpert on his famous collecting trip to the deep South that year.
Canoy's "Eighth of January" is quite distanced from the 'standard' version of the tune (see "Eighth of January (1)" for more mainstream versions. It is recognizable as a variant of the core melody mostly in the second strain.
