JIM SHANK(S). AKA - "Jimmy Shenk, "Jimmy Shanks." Old-Time, Breakdown. A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. A southern Kentucky tune in the repertoire of fiddler Bruce Greene, from his field recording of the playing of Tennessee fiddler Sam Dyer. See also the similar tune "Henry Richmond." Kerry Blech suspects the title may have derived from a mishearing of 'Gin Seng'. Source Dyer was from Macon County, Tennessee, northeast of Nashville, in the upper Cumberland Plateau on the border with southern Kentucky. Boyd Deering wrote in the
Macon County Times a few years ago: "Sam Dyer was approaching eighty years in 1975 and had played Tennessee fiddle tunes all his life. He played old tunes like “Jim Shanks,” and Sam played them differently from dad and Harry Flippen and some of the other fiddle players
in Macon County, Tennessee. Sam would complain about the Grand Ole Opry and it's commercial leanings. He longed for the old days and was quick to express this sentiment" [1]
