LADY'S WAIST RIBBON. AKA - "Waist Ribbon." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Krassen): AAB (Phillips). Very similar to "Folding Down the Sheets" (see note for that tune for more on the tune family) His father's playing of this tune late at night so moved fiddler Melvin Wine as a boy that he would lie in bed crying. Wine remembered being deeply moved, though he could identify no reason why this should be so, only that something in the music "touched me all over" (Milnes, 1999, p. 6).

Melvin Wine
