STILLHOUSE BRANCH. AKA – “Still House Branch.” Old Time, Breakdown. USA, Ky. A Major. One of a family of tunes that includes "Brown's Dream (1),” “Brownstream,” “Herve Brown's Dream,” “[[Jimmy Johnson Pass that Jugaround the Hill/Johnny Bring that Jug Around the Hill,” “John Brown's Dream,” “Little Rabbit” “Pretty Little Gal (1),” “Table Mountain Road” and others. The tune family is a common a popular one in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where it probably originated, but has since been disseminated. Northeast Kentucky fiddler Buddy Thomas (1935-1974) recorded the tune under the “Stillhouse Branch” title but also knew the piece alternately as “Brown Stream,” a 'mondegreen' for “Brown's Dream (1).” He believed the “Brown Stream” title to refer to the stream of whiskey that emerges from a moonshine still, according to Mike Yates (2002).
