Back to Old Parnell Reel
OLD PARNELL REEL. AKA and see "Hotfoot." Old-Time, Rag or Two-Step. USA; Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Old Parnell," sometimes called "Old Parnell Reel," is more properly a country rag or two-step. The title refers to the town of Parnell, Missouri. See also "Whistling Rufus," which, according to Mark Wilson, may be a related tune. Wilson sees similarities between this tune and the calk-walk genre. Drew Beisswenger points out it was recorded by several popular Mid-West fiddlers in the mid-20th century, such was Bob Walters, Cyril Stinnett and Dwight Lamb.
Sources for notated versions: Bob Walters (Burt County, Nebraska) [Christeson]; Lonnie Robertson (1908-1981, Springfield, Missouri), learned from radio fiddler Casey Jones [Beisswenger & McCann].
