-'''PADDY ON THE HANDCAR.''' AKA and see: "[[Bunch of Keys (2)]]," "[[Paddy on the Turnpike (1)]]," "[[Paddy on the Turnpike (2)]]." Old-Time, Breakdown. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB (Phillips, Sweet). USA; Texas, N.C. The tune under the "Paddy on the Handcar" title is sourced to the Texas stringband The Red Headed Fiddlers (fiddler A.L. "Red" Steeley with banjo player J. Warner "Red" Graham), although it is similar to the Appalachian "[[Bunch of Keys (2)]]/[[Old Bunch of Keys]]." The relaxed-paced reel was recorded in Dallas, Texas, in November, 1930, albeit with guitarist Mildred Steeley replacing Graham. Richard Nevins believes that the fiddler for the group, A.L. "Red" Steeley, had a style "strikingly similar" to that of Virginia fiddler Leonard Rutherford.
