Back to Farewell to Ducktown


FAREWELL TO DUCKTOWN. AKA - "Farewell Ducktown." Old-Time, Breakdown. A southeastern Tennessee tune. It was also in the repertoire of fiddler Tommy Magness (1911-1972), born in north Georgia near the southeastern Tennessee border. Ducktown, Polk County, Tennessee, is in the region where Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina meet. The area was also home to fiddler Allen Sisson (1873-1951), who recorded the tune in the Edison studios in East Orange, N.J., in 1925. The tune has been called a version of "Flop-Eared Mule."
