NORTH CAROLINA BREAKDOWN. Old-Time, Bluegrass; Breakdown. USA, Tenn. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Songer): AA'BB (Phillips). Composed by Tennessee's Fiddlin' Arthur Smith [1] (1898-1971). The tune is a current festival favorite among younger old-time fiddlers. Ernest Smith, Arthur's son, believes his father wrote "North Carolina Breakdown" around 1937, about the same time as "Smith's Breakdown," Smith's recording was released by Nashville's Starday label in 1962. See also the variant "Tarheel Breakdown," and the similar, if not directly ancestral, "Whistling Rufus."
