ROCKY MOUNTAIN GOAT. AKA and see "Railroad(ing) Through the Rocky Mountains," "Damon's Window/Damon's Winder," “Devil in Georgia (2),” "Drunken Billy Goat," “Grand Hornpipe (1),” "Mud Fence,” “Ride the Goat over the Mountains,” and “Swiss Chalet." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Kentucky, West Virginia. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first part of this piece resembles "The Jenny Lind Polka," while the second part is similar to the second of an untitled Pennsylvania-collected reel in Bayard (1981; No. 356). At least one version is well-known as a West Virginia tune, while Charles Wolfe (1983) states it was a popular Kentucky tune. It was in fact recorded by a number of Kentucky fiddlers, including Jilson Setters (AKA Blind Bill Day), Ted Gossett, Charlie Wilson. and Cliff Gross. It was recorded for Paramount in 1927 by Doc Roberts and his band the Kentucky Thoroughbreds (with "Dick" Parman and "Ted" Chestnut), and later redone by him for Gennett (1929). Roberts claimed to have learned the tune from "an 80 year old fiddler named Dude Freeman from Beattieville on the Kentucky River. 'Daddy (says his son James Roberts) claimed Dude was one of the best hornpipe players he ever heard in his life--Daddy ran into him at a fiddle contest when he was young'" (Charles Wolfe).
