BOATING UP SANDY [3]. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. A Mixoldyian (Phillips): A Dorian (Johnson). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB'. The tune is a member of a tune family including "Hog Eye an' a 'Tater," "Hog Eye Man (1)," "Hog Eye," "Granny Will Your Dog Bite? (1)," "Sally in the Garden (1)," "Fire on/in the Mountain [1]" (there are several tunes by this name; it is a "floater"), and, in some respects "Betty Martin." Known as a West Virginia tune, it is in the repertoire of Wilson Douglas (W.Va.) who learned it from one of his strongest influences, the regionally famous and influential fiddler French Carpenter (W.Va.). Also in the repertoire of Braxton County, W. Va., fiddler Melvin Wine (1909-2003), whose version is at "Boating up Sandy (5)," and faintly resembles Douglas's in its structure.
