DICKEY'S DISCOVERY. AKA and see "Brisk Young Soldier," "King's Lament." Old-Time, Breakdown. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A modern title for an older tune, named for Indiana fiddler Lotus Dickey (1911-1989) who 'discovered' it in 1985. Later he remembered he had learned it (along with a number of other tunes) from fiddler Allen Downey, who came to Dickey's southern Indiana district from Robinson, Illinois (although Dickey said it was Robinson County, there is no such county in the state, although there is a town called Robinson [1]). Dickey's contemporary, Southern Illinois fiddler Mel Durham, had a version of the tune that he called "King's Lament" after George King, a blacksmith and a fiddler in Johnsonville, Illinois. Harvey Taylor's (1894-1987, Effingham, Illinois) "Brisk Young Soldier" is cognate it the first strain of the tune but the second strains differ. See also the related "Crow Creek."
