Back to Lady's Waist Ribbon
LADY'S WAIST RIBBON. AKA - "Waist Ribbon." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Krassen): AAB (Phillips). Very similar to "Folding Down the Sheets" (see note for that tune for more on the tune family) His father's playing of this tune late at night so moved fiddler Melvin Wine as a boy that he would cry in bed when he heard it. Wine remembered being deeply moved, though he could identify no reason why this should be so, only that something in the music "touched me all over" (Milnes, 1999, p. 6).
Sources for notated versions: Melvin Wine (1909-2003, Braxton County, W.Va.) [Krassen]; Armin Barnett (Seattle) [Phillips].
Printed sources: Krassen (Masters of Old Time Fiddling), 1983; pp. 53-54. Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1), 1994; p. 135.
Recorded sources: Poplar LP1, Melvin Wine- "Cold Frosty Morning."
