Back to Kentucky Winder

KENTUCKY WINDER. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B (Milliner & Koken): ABB' (Titon). A 'winder' is a type of dance step. A variant of "Big Scioty" and "We'll All Go to Heaven When the Devil Goes Blind" from John Salyer [1] (1882-1952). Jeff Titon (2001) says that he knows of no other Kentucky musician to record this particular variant, which is 'crooked' or irregular (the 'A' part has 23 measures, the 'B' part 30 when repeated).

Source for notated version: John M. Salyer (Salyersville, Magoffin County, Ky., 1942) [Milliner & Koken, Titon].

Printed sources: Milliner & Koken (Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes), 2011; p. 357. Titon (Old-Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes), 2001; No. 77, p. 105.

Recorded sources: Berea College Appalachian Center AC003, "John M. Salyer: Home Recordings, vol. 2, 1941-1942" (1993).
