According to a story told by Jim Nelson (Fiddle-L 4.1.10) a cousin of Smith’s, a fiddler by the name of Clay Smith (Fairview Heights, Ill., although originally from middle Tennessee), learned the tune from the playing of Wade Ray, a popular radio fiddler on KMOX in St. Louis in the 1930s and 40s. Clay told Nelson that he played the tune for Arthur Smith at a family get-together back in Tennessee, and that soon after that Smith recorded it for Bluebird Records. Originally “Peacock Rag” may have been a turn of the century ragtime composition which made its way into the old-time repertoire (Dr. Charles Wolfe/B. Poss). East Kentucky fiddler Ed Hayley knew the tune as "Parkersburg Landing," while Mississippi musicians Narmour and Smith recorded it as "[[Limber Neck Blues]]." | According to a story told by Jim Nelson (Fiddle-L 4.1.10) a cousin of Smith’s, a fiddler by the name of Clay Smith (Fairview Heights, Ill., although originally from middle Tennessee), learned the tune from the playing of Wade Ray, a popular radio fiddler on KMOX in St. Louis in the 1930s and 40s.

PEACOCK RAG. AKA and see "Starlight Clog," "Nightingale (2) (The)," "Mason-Dixon Schottische (The)," "Parkersburg Landing," "Limber Neck Blues, "Rustic Dance (3)." American; Country Blues or Rag. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Lowinger): AABB (Brody, Christeson, Phillips): AA’BB’ (Beisswenger & McCann, Silberberg). Popularized by, and often attributed to, Arthur Smith [1] (Tenn.) {1929-30}.
According to a story told by Jim Nelson (Fiddle-L 4.1.10) a cousin of Smith’s, a fiddler by the name of Clay Smith (Fairview Heights, Ill., although originally from middle Tennessee), learned the tune from the playing of Wade Ray, a popular radio fiddler on KMOX in St. Louis in the 1930s and 40s.

Originally “Peacock Rag” may have been a turn of the century ragtime composition which made its way into the old-time repertoire (Dr. Charles Wolfe/B. Poss). East Kentucky fiddler Ed Hayley knew the tune as "Parkersburg Landing," while Mississippi musicians Narmour and Smith recorded it as "Limber Neck Blues."
