SHAKER BEN. American, Reel (cut time). USA, central Kentucky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B or AABB. The tune was recorded for Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana, in 1933 by a band called The Walter Family, originally from Jessamine County, Kentucky, but transplanted to Richmond since 1919. At the time of the recording the personnel were Draper Walter (fiddle), his daughter Mary (piano), son-in-law Ray Agee (banjo), Charlie Estes (guitar), Charlie Burdette (jug) and son Wilburn (washboard). The "Shaker Ben" name derives, according to Guthrie Meade and Richard Nevins[1] from a Shaker community located in Pleasant Hill, just west of Jessamine. Jeff Titon (2001) notes that Shaker Bend is a place name in the Kentucky River below Shakertown. The title has also been collected from Anderson County, Kentucky, and was played by Jessamine County fiddler Jim Booker, a contemporary and friend of Walter Draper's who was also originally from the Camp Nelson, Kentucky, area.
