Back to Rats gone to Rest
RATS GONE TO REST. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. G Major. The tune was in the repertory of Kentucky fiddler George Lee Hawkins. Mark Wilson writes that Hawkins learned this Bath County, Ky., tune as a boy around 1915 from an African-American farm worker named Bill Trumbo. Hawkins was a good fiddler by all reports, and learned complicated hornpipe pieces from fiddlers in Ohio and Indiana. When naming the tune he always appended as an aside “…with D-Con” (a pesticide). Jeff Titon (2001) notes the low part is similar to Georgia fiddler Lowe Stokes’ “Citaco.”
