Back to Waldo
WALDO. Old Time. USA, Missouri. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A popular Missouri reel, named after Waldo, a town outside of Kansas City, Mo., near the border with the state of Kansas. According to Missouri fiddler Howard Marshall, some older regional fiddlers associate this melody with a violin dealer and fiddler from Kansas City named John Jernigan. Drew Beisswenger (2008) points out similarities with “Frisky Jim,” and says that the tune is sometimes linked to “George Booker (1).”
Sources for notated versions: Lymon Enloe (Mo.) [Phillips]; Dean Johnston (1919-2007, Lamar, Barton County, Mo.), learned from either Lonnie Robertson or Lyman Enloe [Beisswenger & McCann]; Stefan Puchalski via Nancy Martin [Songer].
