Back to Old Jake Gillie
OLD JAKE GILLIE. AKA and see "Jake Gillie." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'AACC. A West-Virginia/Kentucky regional tune (Charles Wolfe, 1997). The tune was recorded on a 78 RPM for Brunswick by Kanawha County, West Virginia, fiddler Clark Kessinger (1896-1975), who probably learned while growing up in the Kanawha Valley (Wolfe, Mountains of Music, 1999). See also the tune under the title "Jake Gilly." Other old-time musicians in whose repertoire "Jake Gilly" was include Matokie Slaughter, of Pulaski, Va., best-known as a fine banjo player, but she also played tunes on the fiddle, including the "Gilly" tune. It was in the repertoire as well of fiddler Norman Edmonds (Hillsville, Va.) who played it on his c. 1950's radio shows, some of which were recorded. Some have noticed a general resemblance between this tune and "Eighth of January (The)." See also the Midwest (Nebraska, Missouri) variant "Jake's Best Reel."
