The tune, which is different than the several common “Grey Eagle” key-of-‘A’ variants, sounds like Enos Canoy's "Raccoon and the Possum (The)," according to fiddler Kerry Blech. There are other key of ‘C’ variants of “Grey Eagle” in Ozarks regional repertoire. "Grey Eagle" was reputed to have been the first fiddler-President, Thomas Jefferson’s favorite fiddle tune.
