DUSTY MILLER [1]. American, Reel (cut time). USA, West Virginia. D Mixolydian/Major [Brody, Phillips]: D Mixolydian/Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part) [Krassen]. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Georgia fiddler/entertainer John Carson linked the tune with the song "Hard Time a Comin'" (Molly Tenenbaum). Modern 'revival' fiddlers sourced the tune from Bluefield, West Virginia, fiddler Franklin George, who learned it from his mentor Jim Farthing. Farthing was a fiddler from Virginia near the North Carolina border who had moved to West Virginia for mining related jobs and who performed carpentry with George's father. George maintains that Farthing learned his music from his father-in-law, Charlie Hawley of Tazewell County, southwest Virginia, considered to be a good fiddler with a large repertoire. Hawley, in turn, had learned his music from local Tazewell fiddlers Newton Crockett (a relative of frontiersman Davey Crockett with whom he was close and who lived in nearby Green County, Tennessee) and Bill Gillespie[1].
George associated the tune not with the individual who runs a mill, but with the flower called the Dusty Miller that grows in open fields in the American piedmont and lowlands; it belongs to the dandelion family.
