LITTLE WHISKEY. American, Reel (cut time). USA, Missouri. A Major ('A' part) & A Mixolydian ('B' part). Standard or AEae tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is known as a "tie-hacker" tune, one that was carried to the Mid-West by railroad workers. In the case of "Little Whiskey" the source was Nile Wilson [1] (1912-2008) of Bucklin, Missouri, whose people formerly were 'tie-hackers' from Illinois. Wilson learned "Little Whiskey" from his great-uncle Charlie Davis, but many members of his family played:

As a child, Nile was surrounded by traditional violin players, from his brother Orley and his uncle Lester Wilson to his great uncle Charlie Davis and numerous neighbors and friends. His grandfather Davis sang songs while he played fiddle tunes. ... [Liner notes to "Now That's a Good Tune"].
