[Edwin Hammons] made that old “George Washington March” up himself. One day I said, “Edwin, play me that ‘George Washington March.’” He said, “I’ll play her for you, but I won’t play her fer—he called Dewey Hamrick ‘Jewey’—he said, “I won’t play her fer Jewey, but I’ll play her for you.” And he did, he played me the “George Washington March,” and I learned it from him. I won a fiddlers’ contest in Glenville with it. I could never win nothing at Glenville (the West Virginia State Folk Festival), only with the old “George Washington March.” You tune the fiddle altogether different to play that. Edwin Hammons would drop the G string down to D, and the E string down to D. (Mountains of Music, 1999, John Lilly ed., p. 22)
The melody was also played in this tuning by eastern Kentucky fiddler Ed Haley.
