Tune properties and standard notation
GARFIELD'S MARCH. AKA - "Garfield's Funeral March." Old-Time. Originally a piece of sheet music called "Garfield's Funeral March," the tune dates from the 1881 assassination of President James Garfield (Wolfe, 1997). The tune was recorded by Kanawha County, West Virginia, fiddler Clark Kessinger (1896-1975) for Brunswick in 1928 (#238), learned from local W.Va. fiddler Abe Glenn in 1903 when Kessinger was seven (Charles Wolfe, Mountains of Music, John Lilly ed., 1999, p. 28).
