BETTY BAKER [1]. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; eastern Kentucky, West Virginia. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune called "Betty Baker" is known as a "W.Va. standard," and was in the repertoire of Ernie Carpenter (related to, not closely, French Carpenter), learned from legendary fiddler Uncle Jack McElwain (1856-1938) from Webster County, W.Va. The late Braxton County, W.Va., fiddler Melvin Wine (d. 1999) learned the tune from Tom Allen, a member of a musical family from around Napier, Braxton County. Gerry Milnes (Play of a Fiddle, 1999) says at least six members of the family were fiddlers, although all have since died. It was in the repertoire of Kentucky fiddler Hiram Stamper.
