Twin Sisters (3). AKA and see "Grandfather's Tune (2)," “Jennie Baker,” "Old Ark's A‑Moving (The)," "Reel (17)." American, Reel (cut time). USA: southwestern Va., West Virginia. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Twin Sisters" is a floating title which appears with a variety of tunes. The melody is a variant of the hornpipe "Boys of Bluehill (The)" and, according to Tom Carter and Blanton Owen (1976), is peculiar to the Franklin/Floyd County area of southwestern Va.. However, several West Virginia versions were recorded (e.g. Ernie Carpenter, Melvin Wine). See also the untitled 19th century reel ("Reel (17)") in the Hamblen family manuscripts, and Texas fiddler Lewis Thomasson's "Grandfather's Tune (2)," both cognate versions of "Twin Sisters."
