BLACK JACK GROVE [1]. AKA - "Blackjack Grove." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. A Mixolydian ('A' part) & A Dorian ('B' part) {Phillips, Titon}: A Mixolydian ('A' part) & A Major ('B' part) {Silberberg}. Standard or AEae (McNew) tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberbert): AABB (Phillips, Titon). Phillips notes that his source, Walter McNew, tended to blur the 'C' notes in the 'B' part of his unaccompanied version, resulting in a tonality somewhere between minor and major. Jeff Titon (2001) finds the title in tune lists from Berea College in 1915 and in the 1919 Berea fiddle contest list. The title presumably takes its name from a locale with a grove of blackjack oak trees.

Source for notated version: Walter McNew (Mt. Vernon, Rockcastle County, Ky.) [Milliner & Koken, Phillips, Titon].

Printed sources: Milliner & Koken (Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes), 2011; p. 57. Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes), vol. 2, 1995; p. 21. Silberberg (Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern), 2002; p. 12. Titon (Old-Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes), 2001; No. 13, p. 47.

Appalachian Center AC 005, Walter McNew (Rockcastle County, Ky.) - "Blackjack Grove" (Learned from his father, John McNew, who had it from a Wildie, Ky., area fiddler named Uncle Garret Bow).
