DUSTY MILLER [1]. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. D Mixolydian/Major [Brody, Phillips]: D Mixolydian/Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part) [Krassen]. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Georgia fiddler/entertainer John Carson linked the tune with the song "Hard Time a Comin'" (Molly Tenenbaum).

Farthing was a fiddler from Virginia near the North Carolina border who had moved to West Virginia for mining related jobs and who performed carpentry with George's father.
